Awesome!! post some pic!!! Yeah i saw it right away!! am just waiting for the night package side mirror cover with red foil to match with red vinyl. its only $74 left and right oem part.. how did you install the vinyl? if you can show me maybe i can save more money and do it myself? also, do you have any idea how to replace the grill?? thanks!
My first ever car was Lexus (I used to love it), but I fail to understand how anyone with a SANE mind, can tolerate the new front-end of Lexus. The CEO of this company needs to be thrown to the wolves or maybe into a "mental" facility - I watched his interview, how in utter denial, he thought himself smart as if he is steve jobs clone, fooling the marketplace, and hallucinating that one day all the other brands will be copying his butthead spindle.
The spindle grille, the ugly contours, plastic dashboard - radio knobs as if purchased from Family Dollar store, after-thought cheap LED's squished into the headlamps, dont even get me started (I totally loved the car 15 yrs ago, and thats why my utter contempt and distaste for the filthy nut-head leadership of lexus)

Since this is only a small piece, it's rather easy. It's just like applying sticker. You can search on you tube.

You either love or hate it I am a big fan of lexus, since I have a grl10 gs350, and I think their new design language is much more exciting than previously. But I have to agree the front grill looks ridiculous on this particular car.
The latest Lexus products remind me of a folded origami animal.......and not in a good way.
Not a fan of the front grill on the Lexus either...in white the front end looks too much like a stormtrooper from the new Star Wars movie....the grill especially reminds me of Darth Vader's helmet. With that said, the overall styling of the Lexus still looks better than an Acura.

Here it is...there are more in the pic thread [/QUOTE]
Very nice!!!!! Hey, how did you install the vinyl?? did you have to remove the grill? like your painted calipers too..
I hated Audi's grill in the early 2000s. Now I own one.
I still hate this spindle grill from Lexus. But for some reason, I don't hate it as much on the RC or NX. It actually looks good on NX especially in person.

I used what they call knifeless tape, which is used to cut the vinyl. It's applied on the surface to create the line where you're going to cut the vinyl, then apply the vinyl over it. Then pull the thread up, and that would create a sharp cut to the vinyl without scratching the paint. Search YouTube. There are plenty of tutorials on it. As for the caliper, I just removed the wheel, covered the surrounding area, and painted it. Somebody here paid $300 to have somebody do it. It cost me only $5 for the paint :-)

I saw the knifeless video on you tube!! Awesome!!! the shop was asking a lot of money to install vinyl around the grill.. But do i need to remove the grill to wrap the bumper underneath the grill??

There's no need to remove the grill. Just apply the tape at both the inner and outer edges. It should be a simple job
They are different but I like them both. We have to put a numberplate in the front, that makes the massive front grill bearable. The problem with the Lexus is however that it's way to heavy. So I ordered a C220d instead of a RC300h.
Can't stand Lexus's interior. It's so Toyota. It even smell like one. Ride like Toyota, too. It feels like the car is flying. Cheap thin recycled body panels
