The shop that did the wrap actually did the chrome delete for me back in November I believe? They used a gloss black vinyl and cut it by hand...
I believe there's a guy who has a pre-cut kit that you can order now if you don't have a reliable/solid vinyl shop near you. I know it's not easy because Lexus didn't design that area of the car with much in the way of places to tuck the vinyl around the trim, so the installer is forced to cut on the car which requires a skilled and steady hand. Another reason the precut kit isn't a bad option. I think he goes by BlueBat Overlays or something to that effect, and you can probably find him on the facebook RCF owners group. Hope that helps!
The RCF Owners Group on FB had a "group buy" / Black Friday sale where I scored a nice deal on the lip, side skirts, and rear OEM diffuser replacement. All real carbon fiber, fitment is decent (minor modification needed as with the majority of aftermarket body pieces), quality is pretty good. I mean, it's not a Tom's piece but for a fraction of the cost I think it looks great. Rick Norris is the guy who helped organize the sale, he's the guy to talk to if you're interested in trying to score any of those parts and might be able to help you get them for less than what they sell for on eBay.
I've been waiting patiently for almost 3 weeks now to share this, here is my freshly wrapped in Oracal 970RA Violet Metallic, PPF'd with Hexis Bodyfence, and ceramic coated with GTechniq Halo. Wheels were powdercoated in Prismatic Powders Graphic Charcoal + Clear Vision, the carbon pieces I picked up from the RCF Facebook "Black Friday" sale were also wrapped in PPF (SunTek Ultra on those pieces) and installed, and I'm sure you'll all recognize the RR Racing Carbon F grill emblem:
Huge shout out to Wrapsesh, Vinyl Vixen wraps, OzBraz, and WheelFixIt here in Arizona for helping me turn my vision into a reality, I am totally in love with how this project turned out and I hope you guys enjoy it as well!
Car looks great! Nice job. What part of AZ? I'm taking my RCF on a fun run with the AZ Supra club on 4/7. Leaving from the East Valley in Phx. Time TBD.
I'm over on the east side off the 60...ironically I believe it may have been one of your posts that made me realize I'm actually pretty close to PPE HQ so one of these days I need to head over and check them out. Unfortunately I work on 4/7, that sounds like a good time though...please let me know if/when it goes down again or if there are any other meet-ups/events you get the scoop on in the area!

Havent seen you around! I guess it wont be hard to spot you now!
Anyways, onto my question. Does Wheelfixit actually do wheel repair as well as powdercoating? My wheels need a little love.

Great group of folks...we recently did a Fuji BBQ at No Fly Zone 1/2 mile racing this past weekend. There are 4 RCF's in the group including mine. The rest are ISF's...but again a really great group of car enthusiasts.

So when a vehicle is wrapped, do they do the door jambs and other pieces? or are those still the factory color?
Typically those are additional. I am looking into getting mine wrapped and I believe the dude said door jams are extra but I would guess that could vary by installer.
My installer quoted me without the door jambs, and when I asked how much the cost was I decided against it. I opted to spend the extra $$ on the PPF in hopes that it helps extend the life of the wrap and keeps the car looking better until it's time to be removed.
They did go a little deeper into the engine bay than I expected, and they removed front and rear bumpers, rear spoiler, and took the trim off on the doors, wrapped around all edges, etc.
