Does anyone else hate the chrome trims on the windows?

lol...yeah. I had parts ordered and shipped before I even signed the papers on the new car. Will be lower in a few days, still trying to decide on (HRE) wheels and will likely do Novel carbon all around. I went a little crazy with the ISF so will try to control myself with this one
P.S. - I've still got pictures of your black MKIV on computer - perhaps my favorite of all time.

Hell yeah! That looks great man. Mine came out just as nice but I have Caviar so really it just disappears. Anyone else doing one with Caviar I would recommend the satin finish wrap. I'm hooked now. Planning on doing a black chrome center stripe up the hood, whole roof and down the back trunk lid and door. I'll post pics when I pull the trigger!

Danwlee: I personally like the blacked-out version of your car, especially given the color. But that's me. My personal opinion is that Lexus or Lexii are too 'chrome heavy'. Too reminiscent of the 90s with their chrome placement. I blacked out (wrapped) all of the chrome pieces on my LC, basically because the chrome placement looked so random. (again though, my car/my opinion.)

Thanks for posting the pics for I am on the fence and even more so now about having wrapped (or painted?). My tint guy, who is pretty high end told me he would paint.

There is. My local guy said he would have to order it in. It's too expensive for him to have just laying around. Gave me an estimate of $1500 to do the middle of the hood, the entire roof and the entire trunk lid and face. Haven't ordered yet. I'll post pics if I do.

I actually have painted replacement pieces direct from Toyota to replace the stock chrome ones then I found out the install costs at my dealership. You wouldn't believe the price.... it was insane, so now I am just sitting on it deciding to do it or wrap it.
