Love the Gray. My curent ES is Eminent White and I'm thinking of trading it in on a Gray one when my lease is up next year.

It looks beautiful. And it looks like a custom color not offered by Lexus.

If you don’t know that it’s a wrap, you wouldn’t be able to tell.
It is a full wrap (takes 5 days to complete), which includes all areas like inside the doors etc. - wherever you would have seen the paint, you now see the wrap.

that's awesome. How many pretty pennies we talking about? I might have to do this in the future when my paint chips drive me up a wall.

Well here in the UAE, where labor costs are extremely low it is around USD 3,000.

That is quite the pretty penny. At least it looks like it cost that much .
