@Sooners71 Offer $100 He may take it. Also, This is a Chinese product so it'll take a month or more and it is a very thin plastic. Had mine for several months now and no issues but you need to watch for parking blocks and curbs.

Default Blacked out my exhaust tip

Blacked out my exhaust tips to flow better with the diffuser, had my body shop paint gloss black. Gotta say, turned out better than expected. Process: tips are held on by 3 bolts, forgot what size but you will need extended wrench sockets to reach the top highest bolt, and when putting them back in, make sure you wrap your exhaust tips in painters tape so you don't scratch the paint when fitting it through.

Looks Great @evan2k I was thinking of wrapping mine to match as well. Why did you decide on paint vs wrap? Heat?

exactly, heat was my main concern. Didn’t want the wrap to peel off/ warp over time

not too long, if you're doing it in the drive way probably 2hours or less if your experienced. I do all the work at my dealer since I work there so I have easy access to tools and lift, probably took and hour or so, alignment after.

It's called a Chrome Delete. It's a vinyl wrap done by a professional. Cost for me was $235.

Here's a link to a post above that will show you exactly how it would look.

yeap! You can do either satin black or gloss black chrome delete, your choice on that, most wrap shops provide that service, I tried to do it myself, and i will say the back two windows are a b***tch due to the rear pillar, I would just cough up 250-350 for a professional to do it, will take them several hours, even longer if you decide to do the black chrome grill and the rear trunk.

What brand is that strut bar and where can I purchase it. Can't find anything online.
