Wow good job... it looks really good. That saved you a lot of time and money from having to paint over it.

No offense to anyone who has done this but I actually think the chrome is what makes it stand out as a luxury car.

ohh non taken robloc93, to me atleast. but you see poeple are different, and have different taste, your opinion may be right, but not everyone likes luxury sort of speak, either that or they have different means of pulling out the luxury part of it other then the appearance of chrome trims.

I like the chrome trim. It brings out the shininess in my wheel lips and exhaust.

I like it a lot. I think it still looks clean and YOU DON'T NEED THE CHROME TRIM TO KNOW ITS A LUXURY CAR. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO EVERYONE KNOWS LEXUS AS A LUXURY CAR COMPANY IN THE U.S

I got rid of the chrome because the wind visors covers half of it so it looks weird with just half chrome...
