what did you do to black out your emblems? did you paint them? they turned out great!
-i am getting my emblems black zinc plated then clearcoated... it is like a black chrome but easier to do.

NXT is by far shinier and more wet on lighter cars. I've added z5 to my hood an NXT everywhere else and noticed the difference is huge. I love zaino, but hands up to NXT for creating a polymer that has carnauba wetness. I'll post pics when it's not snowing over here.
I just used Z-1 after the claybar, let it sit for about 30 minutes, then applied Z-2 on top of that. Didn't need to use anything else as the clearcoat/paint is in good condition so far.

Looks great! Regarding the rear spolier (factory), how much did most you pay for it including install?

I don't have it. I'm still thinking if I should get it or not. We'll see.

What I meant to say in my post was how much did most of you pay for rear spoiler + install. I just realized I left out a word in my previous post.
