Has anyone got any pics like that? One of the things I dislike immensely with my GS430 is the amount of chrome on it but before I take the plunge and get it all blacked out I'd like to see how it will look.

Default Here is a picture of the Chrome Trim blacked-out

I put blackout trim on my GS chrome trim, to see how it would look....I didn't keep the tape on it, because it didn't look good up close (the blackout tape itself, not the blackout look)....I am on the fence whether I really like it enough to have the trim painted (or annodized) professionally black.

personally, I couldn't do it to my car, it's silver, would just look odd.
BUT, I REALLY like the black on black!

That looks good. Thanks.

I think I'll keep the Lexus badges as chrome but black everything else. I'm going to have the tail lamps smoked and some tints put in.

Will keep you posted with how it looks.

I like it a lot. Black rims would make it look killer. Thats what I had done to my old TL.
