Oh ok bro - they don't look dark enough in that pic (I like my tints super dark - 15 or 20%)But I really like how you got the side skirts changed to black . Did you do use high gloss or satin black wrap ?

Tints are at 30%, and yes it's a gloss black wrap for the side skirts, rear diffuser, door handles , front lip and the trunk lip. I am planning to plasti dip the front grill and paint the calipers the same color as the interior.

I think plasti-dipping any luxury car is a downgrade and makes the car cheap and tacky same goes for tinted tail lights. IMO a stock C43 looks leaps and bounds better than one with those cosmetic adjustments.

I like the wheels and all of the wrap I can see from the pics. I'm not a fan of the blacked out tail lights. IMO this is too much contrast for a light colored vehicle. I have seen a few instances where very lightly smoked tail lights looked good. The blacked out ones almost always look bad. I think you should return them to stock.
If you paint the calipers, don't try to match the interior. They will look like brick instead of red and will look extra shi++ty once they get coated in a bit of brake dust. I think fire engine red would pop perfectly with the black wheels. It's conventional, but it will look good.

I agree plasti dipping would be a cheap alternative. I'll just try to vinyl wrap it myself.
