Thanks guys I used plasti dip because I heard it does better at not getting rock chips. For prep I washed all parts 4 times with water and palmolive dish soap, then I went and cleaned off the parts when they were dry with 99% isopropyl alchol.
Tomorrow when I leave my house I will take pics of my car posing so it shows the rims and grill at the same time.
That looks damn good! Gives the car a whole different (dare I say more menacing??) look from the front. Kind of makes me want to do that. I think that might look good with my black car... especially if I end up doing the whole smoked headlights and tail lights thing.
How much labor was involved removing and reinstalling? Is the grill just secured with clips/screws?
The bolts are in red the screws are in purple undo all the bolts circled and the grill comes out then you have to unscrew the screws in purple to get the insert out there is probably more screws I forgot about but its super simple to do.
Looks good! I really like how it makes the Lexus emblem stand out. I might have to do my grill in the plasti-dip as well but I will leave the outer chrome alone. On silver I think you made the right choice of painting the whole grill especially since you have black wheels. I also like the idea that with plasti-dip it could be peeled off if you wanted to.

With plasti dip Its super important to do 1 very very light coat it really makes it adhere more....in my opinion. Also thanks I wanna paint the calipers blue but have not had the time.
