One of the mods I've been considering is painting the chrome trim around the windows and on the door handles to a glossy black to match the rest of the car. I've only seen one photo of this done on the LS460 for my body (07-10) but it was on IG and the photo isn't large enough to get a get look. I've seen this done on the IS & RC a lot but I'm more curious for the LS because I feel as the chrome trim really screams mid 2000s
lol also I think all black would look more aggressive.
If anyone has done this pleaseeee post a photo and share what products you used if you DIY, or would you just recommend a shop doing it.
thanks in advance!

I had mine wrapped by a professional, and painted the exhaust vents myself.

Thank you for the kind words! I know most of us are cool here, but to make sure we don't hijack the OP's thread further, here's more pics of my sled in the build section. Due to work and the holidays, haven't done much lately but do have a few more subtle changes (cosmetically) in the works. 2007 Lwb Renew & Refresh - Page 2 - ClubLexus - Lexus Forum Discussion

Sorry for the late response, but my goodness man that car is beautiful!!!! I think this pretty much sold me on going all black, have you had any issues with the wrap, how long have you had it like this?
