I can't believe how Lexus did not black chrome these as they did to the front bumper "chrome".

It's like that on the RCFs as well. I wish they would have have just did all the chrome in black chrome.

It's probably to give some balance since the wheels are staggered polished?

I agree (that black would look nicer) but also agree that I think they did it to balance the polished wheels.

It should've been uniform one way or the other. Drives me nuts!

i personally like the chrome. told myself ill do my best to work with the chrome trim and i think i did a pretty good job. Chrome trim makes the car look expensive and classy, black trim makes it look much more aggressive and mean. its tough but didn't want to half *** anything on these platforms.

I am a little bothered by it and will probably get it wrapped in black chrome, flat black or carbon fiber. The grey mirrors and B-pillars bother me more though. Those are definitely getting a CF wrap.

There is a local guy who blacked out his chrome trim on his blue GS-F and it looks very nice. He also has window visors.

I used plastic-dip for my chrome trim delete. It looks great but I get it washed at least twice per week. It's starting to wear off after about 6 months now. I have an appointment Monday to get them wrapped for $150 in Denver.

I picked up a new GSF on Friday and immediately had the chrome trim wrapped black on Monday (along with XPEL on pretty much everything). In my opinion it looks much better, especially with tint.
