While we're all here -- is there a way to chrome the bottom strip of the grill (as it appears here)? Mine is a matte grey (2016 GS350 F-Sport) and I'd love to go chrome all the way around that spindle grill.

Just looking at a few pics above.... barreycarey, jordyboy and biggsnuff, check this vid, but rather than grab the middle of the arm, grasp the wiper arm at the hook area for better leverage..

Thanks. Overall driving performance has been improved as well with these much lighter wheels.
Debating on blacking out the center grill of the front bumper or just leave them alone; maybe the roof too.
The red calipers you see in the above pics on mine are painted.
Jack all four corners and prep and clean with brake cleaner.
Used hi-temp brake caliper paint: 3 layer primer, 3 layer red paint, apply "F Sport" caliper decal/sticker(optional), then 2 layer clear coat.
10 mins in between rounds of coats. After final layer of clear coat let them dry for an hour or so, then drive.
**also highly suggest to use Akebono ceramic brake pads to help minimize the brake dust off of your wheels and freshly painted calipers**

Very nice indeed �� I really went back and forth between some Vertini Magic wheels before deciding on my current Weds Maverick set. They make some very nice wheels ��

Yes front bumper lip is body paint matched Nebula Grey Pearl. Might wanna consider clear bra to protect the new paint on your front bumper.

Yes, definitely will get my front bumper PPF with Xpel after the respray. This is especially important to those of us that use the SK Style lip that wrap around the corner...I fear with time it may cause slight rubbing marks on the paint. Your car is looking great..thanks for the inspiration!
