Rick Ross would approve!! That's awesome!! Please explain your process. Did you pull the items off? Sand paper,primer, flat clear..what what?? I've gone to every high-end paint shop for the excat work and they all frown and say, "i cant do it"

Good job!

That's for sure a different approach, just makes the car sportier IMO but at least it doesn't change the overall look of the car.

So if you wanna get rid of your clear front side markers let me know. You need to get the smoked one back in.

And BTW: You need my black rims on your car now.

Yes, it does make the car look sportier. The front side marker might get tinted too because I had my stock ones painted,and it came out too dark. My wheels have black windows, and a machine face. If the face were black,it would match perfectly. I'm in the process of having the roof wrap. But still trying to figure out how to remove the antenna. Well I have an idea, but not 100% sure yet. So still kind of nervous. LOL
