Great! Thank you I will give it a shot.
Looks great all black! Annoying they leave the handles chrome even with the blackout package.

You could wrap the circle around the star no problem. It's held on with clips to the glass star.

As far as the glass star, you would have to find something aftermarket or have something made. Behind it is the sensor for distronic cruise as well as other things.

I decided to keep the circle around the star as it's part of the logo as I see it. Also, I left the chrome emblems around the car and it's working for me so far. We'll see as time goes on.

Still going to get some carbon fiber parts in the near future.

you want to have the full star in black? If not, you can go for the Mode Carbon Front Grill replacement. The two front lines and the circle around the star are all in CF which gives the dark look.

those are my 2 cents.

You can just use some window tinting wrap to wrap the star to give it the full black out look.

can always just wrap the star with a window tinting film or the black tail light wrap.

that's also another option which works out perfectly fine

I tired wrapping the star and didn't like the look. Felt like it looked incomplete

It's an interesting look for sure, but I like the star as it is IMO.

Yeah I am with you on that. It looked ok from a few angles but other then that looked odd. Already took the wrap off and will attempt to remove the part you did and wrap this weekend

Well done on wrapping the front Star. I think you are all, correct actually.
It does look like a giant hole in the front of the car, once wrapped.
