I have the same color and you should definitely black out the chrome it makes the car look 200% better. I get some many compliments on how it looks and should have came that way. FYI I did mine in Avery Gloss Metallic Black its a near perfect match to the color of the grill and lower inserts the matte black or regular gloss black had too much contrast to the grill and lower inserts. I also did the B pillars and Rear Valance so everything would be the same color.

Kinda hi-jacked the thread, but mind posting a pic from the side?? Curious how the painted side chrome looks.
none at all. They did a great job. I’d love to see your car when completed!!!

what up bro! Na bro, it’s caviar black. I wrapped my roof and roof wing along with my trunk spoiler with a carbon fiber wrap. My front lip in the picture above was the knock off Lexon lip that I was rocking until I got mine from Josh @ MERAKI. He’s a vendor on here. Good dude. The one in the picture, I can have it rewrapped for you and I can sell that one to you. I wrapped it originally because it was flimsy and it cracked, so I wrapped it and you couldn’t tell anymore lol using my resources wisely. Where in Cali are you?

The emblems I did with Plasti dip but not the flat matte black you get at Home Depot, I ordered there Black Sapphire Metallic from dipyourcar and did 4 coats along with 3 coats of there glossifier. Also did the license plate holder. The Trim below the L emblem is the same wrap as the rest of the car.

Man.... That looks pretty good... has me considering it for mine since I already have a bunch of new leftover cans from doing the same on my previous car.

Post wrap pre tint


Finally home post tint but bad weather all week :/

Anyone got the thread on hand to replace some of the led lights like the trunk? That one is weak and not white. I didn’t realized triple beams were autoleveling till last night because I was checking were the screws were to adjust them then turned them on and saw they adjusted themselves lol

Anyone know how to thread a wire from the trunk fuse box to the interior? Trying to figure out how to do this since the trunk has spare slots that are only on when the car is on. Also does anyone know how to full screen movies? I’m told it can be done but I’m unable to make the side menu go away
