I'm looking at dulling down the chrome grille too. Looks good on yours. I'm looking at Vinyl wrap in dark satin metallic grey to match the car colour. I've sprayed fronts before from chrome and unfortunately for me they always ended up stone chipped.

Quick shoot with wald spoiler:

Next, I remove oem lip and I check fitting new carsson lip:

And not nice suprise:





I change rear bumper for bumper from IS250, so now I have exit for second pipe

TOday I got led bulbs from vleds:

Oem bulb vs led bulb:

And left led right normal:

And both finished:

Tomo my car going to bodyshop to refresh few panels and paint new body parts.

Wow, surprised at the poor fitment of the front lip. Hope it works out okay.
