Default Plastidip - Front grill surrounding & Lexus rear logo

Hey Guys,

Wondering if anyone had done plastidip on their F-Sport Front grill surrounding and rear emblem?

Any photos? Want to see if it will look good..

I currently have a Sonic Titanium colour 200t F-Sport..

I had mine wrapped today and I just picked up the car after having the car detailed and a permanent glass coating applied on the car.

I think it makes the car look more aggressive. (I blacked out the mirrors, tinted the front logo, yellow LaminX on the fogs as well)

I think it would be better if you took a picture of the actual logo, and of the actual mirrors. One of the first rules of photography is to get close to the subject...very close!

p.s. More people see your license plate every single day on the road than they do on this forum. So, obfuscating it doesn't do you much good.

I disagree about the license plate. In everyday traffic, the context of his plate - and thus his identity - is little more than his driving behavior. On this thread, by contrast, it's the sum total of his postings.
We hide our plates, or at least I do, to help insure that some crazy person doesn't tie our words here to our random selves in public.

The grill looks good but I'm not a fan of the yellow fogs.

Your wish is my command...



Regarding the yellow fogs, because it is an overlay, I can always easily remove it.

Can't really see the fogs from that angle but I'm sure it looks better. lol. Maybe consider tint or smoke layovers to better match the rest of your car. I have tint layovers on my NX F-sport and TSX fog lights.

Looks pretty good. Might have to do this to my Nebula Gray NX. Did you just tape up and cover the sides and spray? Never used plastidip before.

Cheers guys,



Looks great,

also, the yellow foggies cheapen the look of the car IMHO.. (for a titanium colour)

maybe look okay on a flame sport blue ?

thought you already have the black side mirror already with the F-Sport model?



I might going to do mine soon as well

did you ended up plastidip your rear Lexus emblem as well?

and maybe the 200t writing as well?

THanks again..

!!
