Looks stunning. What was the cost and what is the lifespan of the wrap?

Thanks man!

Cost in CAD dollars:
Mirrors - $80
Window Trim & Grille - $280
Lower section of bumper - $80
Roof- $220

Total was 660$ CAD, or $500USD. Very reasonable if you ask me!

That's a really good price. Looks great too on your car.

I quoted this out before doing myself and all came back higher than that I recall. Sla couple places even said $400-$450 just for chrome delete.

Still have yet to do roof but my car is black so best option isn't as straight forward.

First of all, I don't even want to talk about the white stuff on the ground lol

In hindsight it would have been nice is Lexus put all the chrome on the Luxury package models, and all the black on the F Sport package models.

Looks good and the price is good too.
Any idea what brand of vinyl it is? 3M, Avery, Vvivid, etc.

Thanks man, I got the inspiration off of a white one I saw on youtube, I wasn't sure how the middle section would look, since it involves cutting in those curved lines, but they did a great job, and I'm glad I did it.

looks good except the bottom center bumper part. that looks awkward/unnatural.

you guys can DIY this job very easily and save $450-500. the roof is easy (6x5 section needed) and you can get a 2x5 section for the mirrors and bumper. blade another $10. wrapping tape another $20. total materials $100.

I actually love the bottom part the most, to me it makes the car look much better and is unique. But to each their own!
