Window Trim/Chrome delete
Wondering how much people paid for blacking out their window trim? Or how much it cost for just the window trim and front grill? I want to keep the glossy look so plastic dipping is not an option for me.
Want to know what's the average price, so I can start calling my local wrapping/ vinyl shops.

Buy some vinyl wrap and do it yourself. It's pretty easy and there's a vinyl roll that comes exactly the size of the IS window trim except towards the end of the rear window trim. I decided to do it myself because I wanted to save the $300 I got quoted for my roof wrap.
If you're in Washington, I recommend Wu Wraps to do your vinyl wrapping jobs.

I love the black pearl look you achieved on the front grill Antnie...

Which shade of film did you use? (tint, smoked, gunsmoke, charcoal?)
Also how did you manage to wrap the chrome on the window trim? crazy good freehand cutting after setting it down??
thank you in advance!

i wouldn't overlay over the DRLs. that gives you the signature look to a Lexus. Plus its probably not safe, not to mention illegal. not to mention doesn't look good. Leave it high end professional pure stock!
