I had mine painted and HHughes1 had his vinyl wrapped. Get it all vinyl wrapped. It doesn't chip with rocks etc. and I personally think it looks better. It also leaves you the option of putting it back to stock at a later date if you wanted to. Just my suggestion.

There are many shops that do vinyl graphics. Contact them in your local area. If you are in central Florida ask HHughes1. He's at Roebling Road tearing up the track right now so he won't be able to get back with you until later tonight.

Here you go http://s913.photobucket.com/albums/ac333/zagarmike/
I have window trim and pillars, trunk piece, and grill wrapped in flat (matte) black vinyl.
I was thinking glossy black vinyl in the beginning but decided to go flat black because it matches the rubber stripes around the window. Had to do pillars as well since they were glossy black.
