Did you paint it yourself or did you have it professionally done?
Personally I would have kept the Lexus emblem silver/ chrome just to have a bit of contrast.

+1 on leaving the "L" chrome. Otherwise it looks too dark imo. I think painting the grill surround is enough

Well its all a matter of opinion really. I would have left the "L" chrome too, but if you like it the way it is, it shouldn't matter what we think!

I love the murdered out look....I don't have a black IS so I can't do it to my ride. I have the Blitz rep grille with the BP emblem so it looks similar. I like it!
