If you have stock rims, you should put them on. Just in case, better to get crap all over the stocks then the chrome ones... Good luck, post some pics when you are done.

I was wondering, are you done sanding the exterior? I'm currently sanding my paint out on my car(non lexus) and I wasn't sure how much it had to be sanded. Since I am just going to pay a guy to spray it and do final touch ups but I wanted to get it as close as possible.
