Default Fun with Vinyl Wrap and New Grill

Just wanted to post some pics of some various things I did with some white and chrome vinyl wrap. I know the chrome thing is a love/hate thing. You either love it or hate it, so I am fully prepared for some very harsh feedback. And honestly, I am "iffy" about a couple of the things I did but the great thing about it is that if I start to get annoyed by some of it I can just peel it off so its a quick fix. And actually alot of it does look better in person.

Where are the fenders from? I'm looking for these but cannot find. Is LED an option on the WALD fenders? My side mirrors are w/o LED.

Nice. Doesn't look too crazy - just subtle accents.

Any pics lowered?

The fenders are Wald fenders I bought from a company called Jonari. The light within the fenders is special order and is mainly for LS460s overseas. I also replaced the regular bulbs in there with a brite white with a subtle blue tint LED to match the headlights, fogs, etc.

I was relentless stalking them on EBay. I got one mirror for $275 and the other I got impatient and spent $425. One of them had a pretty prominent scratch on the front which is what gave me the idea to put the chrome wrap along the contour of the mirror.
