Not hard to do once you have the proper tools. I wax the M regularly (once a month) and won't need to clay again lol. When I first picked up the M it took me a week to clay it. Had to do it twice.

Will need to detail wife's volt once it warms up and see how bad it is (waxed it in the fall).

Would you guys rather deal with the cold or more snow? We got lucky and didnt get hammered with snow like the midwest and the east coast did over the weekend.

Made the call today that I dont believe it's going to really snow again.

New suspension in, tweaked the ride height. Rear camber arms in, alignment and summer wheels on. I'll save a full detail for another weekend. These wheels go to the new owner in a few weeks and my new ones come in next week most likely.

Same shot in front of the same location lol

The chrome around the windows helps a sedan have a coupe look on higher end cars. I thought about vinyl for it but I think it will look worse.

I'm confused about the new owner part. You bought new suspension and rims, but are selling the car in a few weeks?

I agree with this 100%
ESP with the challenged, higher beltline modern cars, the chrome helps.
PLUS, if the sihouette shape of the window profile looks good, there's nothing wrong with accenting it with chrome. Black just makes it looks like any other car.

I can see BMW guys wanting black, bc the bmw chrome trim shape/thickness is nasty, as is the window profile--especially towards the C pillar.

The nice thing about the Lexus window bezels (Jeff's car) is that it looks 1 piece, and is smoothed out nicely. vs the bmw one, u can see all the breaks in the chrome for the door jams and such. Plus, it doesn't help that the chrome bezel on the top of the window is different in width from the sides of the window...and different once again for the bottom of the window. YUCK.

Gross. Thx for posting more chrome nastiness 4age. I completely disagree how any chrome looks good on anything that is suppose to be sporty looking.

Jaguar, Maserati, Aston Martin, Rolls etc all use it in their designs. I agree it looks out of place on some cars but it is a standard auto design characteristic

I agree. It is on a luxo box, as I said chrome has no business being on any car that is suppose to be sporty.

Just the grille surround. I used plastidip - if done right looks decent and is amazingly durable to be on a front end that gets hit with rocks, sand and bad weather.

I didn't say I liked Chrome or I didn't like Chrome. For the grille I didn't like the shape so blacking it out makes it blend in more.

The lexus badge is still Chrome. Because I don't have super dark tint and the colour of the car I don't know if black window trim will be enough contrast. I like the coupe like window profile.
