Default Full exterior chrome delete on brand new LX570

Overview:
- Gloss black front grill chrome delete vinyl wrap
- Gloss black window trim chrome delete vinyl wrap
- Gloss black door handles chrome delete vinyl wrap
- Gloss black rear tail light chrome delete vinyl wrap
- Gloss black rear trunk bar chrome delete vinyl wrap
- Matte black rear badges plasti dip

I really liked the way this new 2018 Lexus LX570 SUV turned out from blacking all of the chrome trim accents on it. It's not as common to see SUVs getting vinyl work done, but it should be more common, because it really gives them a much more aggressive look that isn't normally expected when you look at or think of an SUV. Everything that was done on the car was still subtle enough that for anyone who didn't know how the car looked like before would have just thought that the car came that way from the factory. The owner of this car was in Cerritos Orange County and I came out to them to do the vinyl wrap work on this car.

The only chrome piece that we actually did not end up doing was the owner opted to keep the chrome finish on roof rails of the car. Let me know what you guys think.

Looks nice. Now you just need those black rims, like in the black special edition.

That looks awesome! Especially on that color LX. I can only image it with a white one...

Looks nice Don. Never seen one on an LX. You may want to replace the chrome license plate frame to a black one.

The description of the process is in the original post, but basically it was all done with vinyl wrap.

What does the care process look like for vinyl? If taken care of appropriately how long does it typically look good for?
