Chrome rapped LFA in Austrailia! Yay or nay?
I think this is a first. According to this story, it's LFA #304- http://www.rushlane.com/lexus-lfa-ch...r-1240283.html

The "owner" driver is the dealer principal for Lexus of Brisbane. Guy must be a bit conflicted, this statement yet he did an interview for state TV when he picked it up.
“The customer would rather remain anonymous. The guy is quite reserved.”The owner, a 36-year-old Queenslander who works in retail, said he preferred to be known simply as “JP”. “I do prefer anonymity,” he told Drive. “I know it sounds funny, driving a car like this and trying to remain anonymous.”, http://brisbanetimes.drive.com.au/mo...719-22c8p.html

I went and posted it in the XXX LFA thread because I thought it was #304 going by the first post. I like the carbon mirrors and winglets. Haven't seen carbon mirrors before.

The Rear Wingles, Side-view Mirrors & Sharkfin Antenna were also wrapped in 3M Dinoc Carbon Fiber vinyl..
(Looked Black at first glance)

So it's not technically 'bare' carbon fiber but a wrap made to look like it? Or is the wrap carbon fiber? (might sound stupid asking this, but I'm not familiar with wraps).

2) It is a 3M vinyl wrap made to look like Carbon Fiber... I have a few accents on MY IS-F
3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber Vinyl =
Here is a quick sample roof shot.. (on another car)

Looks decent, kind of a quick way to get the CF look, aren't the LFA mirrors CF anyway? I guess it'd be easier to wrap them than ask for that portion of the car in carbon, if it's made of it.
