Was it difficult talking out the grill chrome bezel trim piece and headlight trim? any chance you can describe how you did so?

Looks awesome! I'm thinking about using black chrome paint (almost tint like) for those parts, including the Lexus logo

Very nice and yes it would be nice to know how difficult it is to remove the trims. I've also considered getting those painted black.

Not too shabby. Usually LED add-ons looks tacky but you pulled it off.

it was easy.. take off the bumper by taking out the screw on each side by the wheel well.. then the screws underneath bumper.. then take the weather stripping in hood and all the screws around the grill...the head light trim has couple screws around it.. be gentle its really weak plastic.. the had part is the headlight cleaners.. discount the fluid pipe and two small screws in a hard to each spot.. that s it.. got everything out in ten minutes..
