I'm going to put together a DIY on the wrap over the weekend, should have it posted next week. Very easy and matches the center door pillar vinyl perfectly, and all for about 20 bucks w/ no chance of overspray, no hassle of taping up your car, and the ability to return it back to chrome if you so desire

Thanks for the kind words
We got this from the dealer pre-tinted so I'm not sure what shade it is, but it's somewhere in the middle between lightest tint and what the darkest legal tint you can drive with.

ride came together very nicely, those tail light overlays look sweet and your drop turned out perfect! I would have painted the grille gloss black as well but to each his own. Looking forward to the DIY vinyl wrap, I've been wanting to do that.

Thanks for the compliments, I may go gloss on the grill, may even give it a gloss vinyl wrap and also a wrap on the spoiler lip, the Plastidip looks okay but I really don't like the rubbery texture of it, and it's a bit strange to try and clean. Here's the DIY vinyl trim link BTW

Here's a couple updates, black window trim, new exhaust and just
wrapped my 5 spokes w/ gloss black 3m scotchprint, pretty dramatic change, now w/ a chin spoiler and painted headlights on deck I should be complete. I'll be removing the headlight overlays once I get the courage to bake those lenses

Before

After
