Which one do you think look better?
The other one is the Lexus RC, which has a lot of sexy curves. But after looking for a while, I feel like it lacks a little class...maybe I'm biased?

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 front of the Lexus looks like the Predator's mouth (from the Arnold Schwarzenegger 1987 movie) with war paint under its eyes. fugally man

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 :-)

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

C220d Avantgarde
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.
