Yes, I'm keeping the roof and side mirrors black. When I post finished pics, I'll write a synopsis of what I learned, dos and dont's with links to all the supplies I ordered.
Excellent! Good luck finishing it off! I think we are all looking forward to the finished product.
So I began the tedious task of wrapping my car this weekend in Avery Satin White Pear. Let me reiterate the tedious part. I spend most of the night Friday after work, debadging, thouroughly washing, clay barring, drying and removing the rear bumber. Yesterday's progress pics are below. I hope to get it finished today if my body allows. There are muscles hurting that I didn't even know existed. This project definitely isn't for the faint at heart, especially working along. My dad helped with the bumper removal, but for the most part I've done all the work.
Will post more progress tonight.

I see that you live around Houston too? Houston Crew
I was going to wrap my car myself too but too lazy and didn't have time so I just got it done. Looks really good from the pictures!!! I am going to tell you right now the rear doors handle is tricky so you have to go slow and not drop any screws or anything.
How's the fitment on that ebay carbon fiber front lip?
And is that an OEM gloss black LEXUS badge?

There's a lot of voyeurs here...likely 50 people creeping on your thread right now.
Very true. I creep on everyone's build thread to get ideas. Good job on the wrap. I've watched my shop do a roof wrap and it's not an easy task to do a whole car with these curves.
The rear door looked like a real challenge but you overcame it!
The issue with the door is where the ledge meets the trim. I cleaned it very thouroughly but after the initial application of the vinyl for placement, you have to pull it back to stretch it across the panel, which caused air suction to pull paticles from under the trim to get under the vinyl. I ended up having to take off the trim. That was fun....its riveted to the door.
