Default Anyone mod the chrome trim around the grill?

I am looking at getting the black pearl emblems and think the chrome around the grill would also look better the same color. Anyone done this?

most that have done this mod have wrapped the grill surround w/ gloss black wrap. others have plastidipped using flat black. there's was also an option of getting it color matched from sewell lexus in texas. If you look through a lot of the build threads you'll see the mod. I have it done as well as having the black pearl emblem. check out my build thread for reference.


I plastidipped my rear emblems w/ matte black and then hit them w/ a metalizer to have the same pearlesque look as the front.

There are lots of folks who did with matte black Plastidip. Look through the sticky Pics thread above, or here are a quick few:

I think you could still order from them over the phone, I think they just don't have an online store anymore IIRC.

I could very well be wrong about that ()but I just could have sworn I read somewhere on this forum that people could still purchase items over the phone.
