Love the Gray. My curent ES is Eminent White and I'm thinking of trading it in on a Gray one when my lease is up next year.

It looks beautiful. And it looks like a custom color not offered by Lexus.

dude it looks just like a brand new paint job. I have never seen wrap in person or touched it or felt it. Does it even feel like any different.

If you don’t know that it’s a wrap, you wouldn’t be able to tell.
It is a full wrap (takes 5 days to complete), which includes all areas like inside the doors etc. - wherever you would have seen the paint, you now see the wrap.

that's awesome. How many pretty pennies we talking about? I might have to do this in the future when my paint chips drive me up a wall.

That is quite the pretty penny. At least it looks like it cost that much .
