Is that something that you can do by yourself or do you have to take it to a shop and have them professionally do it?

Blacking out doesn't always lend itself to a nice package. In BT's case, I think it's blending of quiet flash that is unique amidst the ubiquitous chrome, flash, and bling. The package is stunning!! Take a bow, BT.

Thanks for the props guys, but I can't take credit for it all. The previous owner did most of the work for me (including spending all the money on the upgrades 
). In addition to the projectors, he upgraded the lights to an actual HID system with new ballast and bulbs. The wheels are 19" Brabus Type V two-piece rims (with the inside powdercoated black) and I think that's a Brabus (or a look-alike) front lip.

Where were you (or the previous owner) after all this time??? 
Hey, Rich, you've just found yourself black Brabus stealth bro! 
BTW, your wheels are not Brabus IV's, they're newer - they're IV's
