Has anyone blacked out their car completely? (No lights but chrome bits..)? PICS
I have recently got my wide of the car blacked out (window trim and door moldings) with gloss black wrap,
But the installer did not recommend blacking out the door handles because of the everyday usage.
Has anyone blacked out their door handles as well? How well do they hold?

I came across these photos when I was looking for wheels. BTW, I hate the front lip on this. I do however want the Brabus carbon fiber front lip if I could find it at a reasonable price.

Maybe you can just go for these tail lights instead.
Simple and the contrast still remains.

No they are complete aftermarket units by Depo.
However that means these won't fit your car directly - these are made for the pre-facelift.
Should be easy to mod though I guess. Probably just rearrange a few wires?

Just my opinion but I wouldn't tint the red part, mabye just a slight tinge of dark red to not make it such "bright" red but no black smoked tails, that's not really cool anymore. What's cool is that last pic of the smoked white/clear spots, that looks really sharp.
Just my opinion!

You say you had the chrome bits wrapped?
That looks bad ***!
I need to figure out where around here I can get my chrome bits wrapped. I would like to 'mob' out my S also.
I should have my black wheels installed letter this week when I get a chance.
Also.....I agree.......with NOT tinting the lights.
Function>aesthetics

Has anyone blacked out their door handles as well? How well do they hold?
