thats pretty cool looking...but yea it is a Lexus so you'd expect it to have some chrome. I do like how your rims match though...makes the black trim flow better.

I will look in Home Depot but I heard is not easily available here.
I personaly never seen it in HD.
Austin is a nice town. The only time I stop in Texas is on my way to CA when I stop in Dallas.

I was planning on doing this too, but I have the JDM window visors and I don't want to take them off..it's probably going to peel off faster since it's two separate peices of chrome

Where in PR are you? Bayamon,Caguas, Carolina, Ponce or San Juan? There is a Home Depot in those locations my wife said. I got mine from Lowe's in the upper 48.

Did you paint your visors? How did it come out?

Ladies and gentlemen, I love this club. I am new to this blog. Is there a tread for nebula grey 4GS? If not can someone start it, so people with same car color can share their ideas for color combination. I am not sure on how to eliminate the chrome on my car. I want dark grey over the chrome like the F sport graphite wheels. I believe smoked plastidip or done type of 3m grey vinyl wrap might work. The advantage of the plastidip is that I can always add more coats to make it darker. I haves even the look of the smoked plastidip over the lexus emblems but not over the chrome trim. Again, anyone want to start a tread of nebula grey GS 4th generation because I still don't know how😁
