I'm not a fan of the black in between headlight and DRL. It kind of ruins the look the Lexus designers were going for. As for the bottom of the bumper I like it both ways. It does look sick when the grill flows all the way down.

 

maybe. if you like it it would be the one thing different between you and mason's.

 

Here's another shot of it....

 

With regards to the space between the headlight and drl, I think it's really subject to the vehicle owner. Depending on what fills the space will give it a slightly different look. I've seen black and carbon fiber so far...some look good, and some don't.

With regards to the bottom of the bumper, if you are talking about the space right below the grill, then I think leaving it black would look good once the lip is installed.
As weird as it sounds, I would probably wrap it in the Satin white, and then wrap over the white with black vinyl. That area just gets riddled with crap, and the vinyl would help protect the vehicle finish. Double the vinyl even better.
I plan on wrapping that same area black on my own vehicle once I pull the trigger on a lip.

Good luck making a decision.

 

Exhaust on!

 

Nice! I've been contemplating pulling my bumper back off to paint the car chasis black. I'm referring the the white part you can see through the seibon diffuser.

 

Oh wow, I didn't think of that....I could have wrapped it black there to avoid that. You can really only see it from a lower angle though.

 

what rims are these??

 

if you do that, make sure you use matte black paint and not gloss... i made that mistake once

 

Noted. But.....I am not taking that bumper off anytime soon. I have to remove the front bumper this weekend to wrap it, and I'm dreading it.

 

Not sure, this was an image I found online to reference the black area on the splitters.

 

So, my wrap isn't progressing as I would've liked. I had originally anticipated finishing it in two weekends, but it's taken three, and the front bumper isn't done yet. To be fair, I've done a lot of other mods including putting on my rims, chaging the exhaust and intake and attaching the carbon fiber side skirts, that have eaten into this time as well. I failed miserably with wrapping the front bumper this past weekend (tried to wrap attached vs. taking it off). I was going to just break down and pay a shop to do it, as I want my life back, but after visiting THREE local shops that were on the list of "top 18 wrap shops in Houston"....I've changed my mind. I'm severely disappointed at the quality of work, and it seems to be that way across the board. There's things that I wouldn't have been OK with when I was applying my wrap, that seem to be the norm. I am a crazy perfectionist and even though it was my first time to wrap a vehicle, my work is far superior to what I've seen out there. Probably why one of the shop owners offered me a job, no lie. I went there to buy a piece of 3m gloss black for the chrome delete, and explained to him on the phone that I had been wrapping my own car. When I got there, he said my work was not at all what he expected, and he actually gave me the vinyl for free because he was so "impressed". At least now I know I have something to fall back on if I ever lose my job, lol.

Here's some pics I took after washing it this weekend.

 

........



!!

 

It's looking great so far...I can see why they offered you a job. At least it's just the front bumper left.

Are the tires directional? From the pic it looks like the left front thread is going in the opposite direction. It may be my imagination though...hard to tell exactly from the pic.

 

I think they are. Didn't even consider that when putting them on. Guess I'll be switching them around!
