Batmobile 3.0 Build Thread (IS250 Fsport)
The rear emblems are unfortunately PlastiDip. I plan to remove that and replace with gloss vinyl at some point. Just didn't have the time today.
She looks forward to meeting you
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to say that the shop I visited today did an AMAZING job. They removed the Plastidip from the front grill surround and actually disassembled my front bumper/grill to WRAP my grill surround in gloss black vinyl.
So, here's the progress made for today:
Yellow DRLs
Black Vinyl Grill Surround
Tinted front emblem
Carbon Fiber vinyl lower left/right bumper
And here's the result
Her first meal at Chevron

Stay tuned. More to come!

Usually I am not into exterior mod as I prefer the stock look. But your carbon fiber vinyl lower bumper corner looks classy and it blends in with black color. This is one of the best appearance mods I have seen to date. Very subtle and good use of the existing F Sport front bumper aesthetics.
Though I am getting the regular IS (due to some features not available on F Sport on Canada), I have been thinking of plasti dip or vinyl wrap the centre black plastic portion of the bumper (less the grille and emblem area) as I think they are the remaining target for stone chips after clear bra installed on the bumper)
For F Sport grille, it looks difficult to wrap it. Mind if I ask you how much time did the shop spend I doing that, minus the time to take off the grille off the bumper?
Thanks

Yes sir you are indeed correct! Good call

They did tell me that the bumper was incredibly easy to remove on the 3IS. Unfortunately, they had to spend some time removing the plasti-dip from my grill surround before even being able to apply the vinyl wrap, so I'm not sure how much of the time they had it was actually spend wrapping it.
Oh wow you would do the entire headlights? I have to see what that ends up looking like!
Here are few shots of 3.0 that we took at the Pursuit today.
