Very nice. I did mine in gloss black to match the window frames and lowers.

Can you post a pic? I just plasti dipped it but if I like the paint match better, I'll do that. Thanks! I am happy with the outcome though.

Here is my gloss black I did myself. Take note of my imperfect cuts and corners. It has been on for about a year now. Driver through car washes, not garaged, no problems yet.
Im still on the fence about doing the spoiler in black to match.

Thanks, looks great! If you ask me I wouldn't do the spoiler, leave as it is, looks good!

Easy

Very easy to vinyl the strip.
I think gloss black looks the nicest.

Looks fantastic. Can I get more pics of that wing. I had actually purchased it and when I received it thought it was too extreme so returned it but after seeing yours done in black, I'm second guessing it agian. Thanks.

Sorry did you say that was gloss black painted or vinyl wrap? If it was painted, what kind of paint did you use? Thanks!

I've had customers who have blacked out their chrome window trim pieces but left the rear trunk bar cause they liked it chrome.

That looks so sick! Can't wait till my badges come in. Then the next course of action will be to vinyl strip the trunk chrome. Thanks again!

I changed all to black. The only part on the exterior of the car that was carbon fiber was the spoiler, it was out of place, so it was covered. Badges, chrome strip, spoiler, diffuser and exhaust tips are now all black.

I’ve heard a few say that the trunk chrome strip is not that easy to remove and keep it in perfect condition 🤷🏻‍♂️
