Yeah, I agree. I just texted my guy who did window trim, roof rails and handles black about the price for coating or painting tips. We'll see what he says..

I have the Night Package - so the mirrors and door trim come in black. I have been thinking about getting the chrome 'eyebrows' over the tail lights changed to black and the chrome on the door handles also - just havnt pulled the trigger. They are basically the only chrome bits left. I do like the half black style night package wheels - so i wont get them done in all black.


Regarding the tail pipes of the 2020 - they definitely are a different shape the 2019 and lower. 2020 are more rectangular and look to have a thicker bezel - where as the 2019 and lower are a more rhombus shaped with a thinner bezel. Definitely be careful which one you buy.

Oh ok. They are different. I would do all your leftover mods. Then your car would look great.

No, I didn't switch out. They came that way. I'm assuming all '20s do? Not sure though.
I just came back in from an errand and saw that the tires on my '20 are in fact the Continentals (19")

I found some '20 gloss black covers on Amazon for $33 with Prime shipping available. They'll be here tomorrow. Hopefully they fit properly. Unfortunately, there were no reviews for these particular covers, but they look identical to all the others I've seen.

I plan to use the adhesive that comes with it as well as some Gorilla Glue to ensure the don't fall off. We'll see.

I totally understand you. I custom ordered mine and made sure I could get the black headliner. But grey is still okay.

Was looking at your tips when I saw that the chrome around the rear bumper is still not done in black. The night package adds that in black, so maybe you want to do it?
