how can this be rice? if it's legal to put chrome tint, I'll put that in a heartbeat. and no, not really a fan of chrome, but I think this is different.

it has to be chrome paint

real chroming the whole car would make even the SLR drive like a pinto

and i agree, if you have to chrome a car
this is the car to do it

and the only car to pull it off properly

why chrome rims then?.. can't we just paint them chrome if it looks pretty much identical
it must be a pita to keep it looking spotless

we have all Lexus cars except the GX and IS-F. man, I think the ES350 sells more in Saudi Arabia than the US
We've been in an unmarked ES350 taxi in Dubai, there were about half a dozen of them parked outside our hotel at any time. I've seen quite a few of them there.
