Not feeling the chrome b-pillars, nor the grill, nor the stock wheels.
I saw an IS just like this on Oakland Park Blvd the other day. I've seen this type of stuff on an ES or LS and it looked a little better on bigger cars but even then it's not that attractive.
Sorry for being so forward about my opinion and I don't want to offend but this just doesn't feel right and definitly doesn't look right.

IMO, a bit too much added chrome, otherwise a nice car.

Take off all the chrome trim pieces and you'll be on your way...

All that matters is that you like it!

However; that is way too much chrome and looks pretty ricey!

My suggestion:



Spray light coats of this on all pieces, make them look less chrome, and more black pearl-ish.
