Default Gloss black roof on Nebula Grey Pearl (NGP)




Hi,

I'm a new Lexus owner and new to the forum, just wanna say thanks for wealth of information on here.

I was scouring the forums for pictures of nebula grey pearl 3is with a chrome delete and gloss black roof. I came across a few, but I just wanted to post these as another reference since I didn't see too many. Anyways, I'm ecstatic about how it turned out. It's Avery gloss black and it costed $475.

$475 to paint or wrap? looks a bit like wrap but the pictures are far away.

your mirrors would look good black too. (don't forget the stalks on the doors)

Sorry shoulda clarified, it's vinyl wrap. I was debating on the mirrors!

Id like to see some pics, I'm definitely still open to the idea.

black mirrors come standard on a lot of factory cars like BMW. and even from Lexus with its crafted line IS and GS. so if it comes stock, it's built into the design. i say go for it.

personally I'd paint my roof. nothing like professional hard/mirror like glossy roof.

That's a great price for both roof and chrome delete. Based on the quotes I'm getting in San Diego just a chrome delete is looking about the same.....

Did the wrap the front grille chrome frame or spray?

the grille is also vinyl wrapped it's all Avery gloss black. The guy did an okay job, it's holding up well. I couldn't pass up the price though

I'm in Montgomery county. Message me if you want specifics?

there is another nebula grey at my job and every time I see it with the chrome I'm so happy i got rid of it. It gives it a different look altogether, definitely not for everyone though.
