Default 21 Lexus ultra white CHROME DELETE!

Hello everyone,

finally pulled the trigger on plasti dipping the chrome on ELSA. Originally I was going to have my friend wrap them. But he’s been a little busy, and I couldn’t wait any longer.

It wasn’t difficult at all! obviously just a little time consuming. And mostly because of the preparation. Let me know what you guys think. I’ll put up some before and afters..

Ok great! Thanks! Do you have specifics on which one?

I only ask as we have very similar themes and the only remaining change for
mine is the emblems and I love how yours turned out.

you could finish it off by doing the side view mirrors and the door handles to emulate the Lexus Crafted Line. I was salty that it was only available for the IS250 at the time (no IS350 available).

I can confirm, tried few ebay ones, after some time they turn green olive and up close doesn’t look that good anymore…
i would suggest using some good quality smoked vinyl wrap like VIVID etc or maybe go to local tint shop with good reviews to do it for ya.
