More on topic: OP, what about some spray on latex paint for a less permanent job?

EDIT: Fully read OP first post. I see you thought about something like that. D'oH!

Looks great! I'm interested to see some daylight pics.

Might have to do this on my SFP.

It looks really solid up front now- very aggressive. The satin looks much better than expected, and I would have definitely chosen it over the matte look.

I would definately work on a black car im sure; but you would need to use a black with different finish..I would use a matte type of finish and use th same as my grille surround to mesh better.

I did measure to make sure it was symetrical and then I took a peice of foil created a stencil and then transfered to a peice of process paper; thus to copy exactly on the otherside... I played with initital layout of masking tape until followed the body lines how I liked..Its rather a simple and quick mod, and even easier an less permenant you guys culd use vinyl and cut to exact shape.

you could always use plastidip to see how you like it... If you do then bam you can leave the plastidip or if not. Peel it right off.

True that, super easy and quick to see if you like it.. can peel it off and go to a full paint or vinyl.. only $6.

I think this looks pretty good too, but I'd definitely finish off the look by blacking out the headlight housings.

I'd probably do that if my car wasn't black. It fits the whole "Stealth" theme .
