As the days go by with the new RX,

I wanted to protect the car but also, give it a little pazzaz! But, I do not want the vehicle to look like some wanna be fast car. Just something clean and nice.


Not sure how nice it would look if the little chrome part near the fog lights were blacked out as well..
Also, this will most likely accent the floating roofline alot more so I wonder how it would look without the chrome on the windows..

Imagine a 2016 Lexus RX 350 F Sport Nebula Grey with all blacked out chrome.. Something like this

Some other examples of Lexus Vehicles- focus on the silver chrome not being there

Thoughts??

i don't think blacking those parts out will make it look like a "wanna be fast car" it would make it look more aggressive and sporty if thats what your looking for

aznkorboi

Nice. that would be my intention.

I think the chrome accents look really good against the darker paint colors. If blacked out chrome is metallic like the finish on the wheels, i think it might look good. If it is a flat black or glossy black, i think i would pass.

Looks like the crafted line from 2015.

Interesting.. yeah.

Don't know too much about the type of wraps yet but I know there is a glossy type, metallic, and matte.







Those three... I'm trying to close my eyes and imagine how each of them would look haha. The mirrors I think are a GLOSS black so it would blend well with that. However, the metallic looks more natural. However I DO have a nebula grey paint so not sure.

aznkorboi

Indeed. exactly what I was thinking too!

It seems like the metallic has specs of white/silver in them. May clash with my grey paint. https://www.google.com/search?q=3M+G...wEJnrAeUHfM%3A

The Gloss black is like the roof on the pano roof. Sleek and black. Like a black paint job. or Plasti-dip..

Matte is well matte, dull looking..

Here are some pics of grey cars with black accents-

starting to like the matte chrome look..

It gives that natural rubber look.

Now I kind of want to add carbon fiber wraps on the bottom. But it's a CUV so prob NOT. haha.

Man should I go with gloss or Matte?

Blacked out Chrome on RC-F too- https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rc-...pics-here.html

Love how blacked out grill frame looks on the beverly hills RX looks. Would be nice to see pix of the chrome blacked out around the windows. This might be a solution for toning down my RX's looks to something a little less aggressive, and a little more classy.

Did find this pic...

I think I may stick with matte black for the window chrome. That one grey pic looks nice and clean.
The question is should I keep the matte the same for all the other chrome pieces? Man. Wish I got a white car now. So clean! I feel like if I made the handles black, that would be crazy over kill but it looks good on an all white car.




Here's the beverly hills one with the gloss black accents. Seems too shiny but blends well with factory grill.

Another MATTE BLACK accent wrap-

The RX also looks lowered in the video but no mention of suspension mods.

Here's my nightfall mica RX with 3M gloss black metallic car wrap grill frame.

Love it. Did you do it yourself or have it professionally done?
