"dark chrome"...that'll be interesting to see. If it's anything like the wheels, it's still shiny.

Correct, like the IS 350 F Sport wheels.

Then there’s all the ‘conformists’ out there (like my wife) that don’t want to stand out, so they buy boring colors.
Every car I’ve bought has been some shade of red, but I’m open to blues, and greens. Won’t ever buy a white, grey, or black!

So it's not the matte black everyone is expecting.

I don't recall anyone mentioning matte black... If anything I expected it to either be a gloss black (like we we have on the B-pillar or front grille surround) or a black-chrome finish like the wheels or the IS 500's window trim. Pretty sure it's the latter.

Lol it’s not my fault you’re using a calculator screen as a monitor. And on mobile you can tap and pinch to zoom. It helps to read the quick start guide of your phone.

How about just posting a legible screenshot in the first place ? Instead of a zoomed out picture with Microsoft paint pencil circling the script .

Truthfully , your picture was so small , I zoomed right by it without even realizing it was there .... honest mistake that I posted it again ... Just trying to be helpful .

You don't have to be an *** about it ...

Thanks for correcting me, I see it says Dark Chrome trim. Will be nice to see this back on the IS 350.

I wonder how expensive and difficult it would be to swap the dark chrome trim onto a 22
