Default Carbon Fiber Wrap

After the tints were installed, the salesman suggested carbon fiber wrapping the wheel spokes, and all the chrome. I personally like the chrome and the wheels, and feel that the wraps will just cheapen the look of the car. I think carbon fiber wraps belong in cheap tuner cars not a Lexus, unless it is real carbon fiber. What do you all think? I will consider it, if it makes the car look good.

Leave it as it is. There's already tons of modification here that has cheapen the look of the car. Go with what you like, not what others think.

Well it's your car but I think it looks great the way it is now. I'm in the "less is more" school of thought.

By no means does wrap cheapen the look of your car...but it depends on what quality wrap you use, who does it and which parts you choose to wrap. I would not condone doing your wheels as they look good as is but the Roof and window trims to me are a must. Theres a reason why 100K luxury cars and even just regular cars which are newer come with with these black from the factory.

Like tint a black roof is a must to me nowadays...but its up to you. Nice color choice for your RC!
