If anyone is interested in where I bought the vinyl, I bought it at this website.

That looks wicked good. Good job! Are you going to do the chrome on the lower parts of your doors?

Thanks, I'm thinking about it doing the lower door. Haven't decided yet.

The GS was never meant to look stealthy. It has grace, finesse, tamed sportiness and class to the look and that's why Lexus decided to go with that much OEM chrome. It competes with the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5-series, both cars that also carry class.

In my opinion, the Lexus IS is a sporty looking car that instead goes well without chrome. Like you said though, everyone has their own taste.
