It's around $6200 CND, but I actually got it at an amazing price. So couldn't say no. XD

It actually looks pretty clean. However, my car was a shinny black, so I don't think it would look bad anyway.
I would love to try the matte white after a few years though.

How long did it take them to install ? Will it fade? It is different!

Full matte black would look better.

Well done with the matte job! It can be hit or miss, but yours turned out perfect.

Looks good. Def need to tint or paint headlights though. And sand or paint the shine off the wheels. The shine of the wheels doesn't flow with the car

Looks great!!! Perhaps darken out the grill trim area and Lexus logos and you're set.

+10000 You read my mind.
It's a bad-*** start and looks great
, but I would recommend the following to finish the job:
1. Tint all the windows the same. IMO it looks silly otherwise.
2. In order to pull off the "stealthy" feel of the matte black, you have to darken the tail lights. Period.
3. And the wheels now look to "bright" IMO. I would go deep lip with either a black out or at least a gun metal finish.
Considering what you probably paid for the vinyl wrap, these final 3 items should be nothing for you.

Looks nice bro.. I would try to smoke out the chrome areas left on the car and possibly wrap the lights in the clear matte vinyl.
