Killed all the chrome w/ wrap, removed decals/logos but left the SHO fenders. Leave them or do more somehow? 2019 08 13 23 38 47

That looks good. How did you darken the taillights? I have some tint I bought from amazon but haven’t put it on yet.

Killed all the chrome except the exhaust tips. Only badges on the car are the side SHO badges, and the Di Vires Custom Copper Metallic Turbo Bull overlays. Everything from the lower cladding and up is either glass black or tuxedo black. The lugs, rotors, calipers, and exhaust tips are some form of silver or chrome....which I kinda dig. I do need to tint the brake lights however.

You had the door/window trim painted body color? I asked one place, they told me no.

I had to remove the trim and prep it. My buddy sprayed it.

I didn't want a blackout look w/ 5% so I only smoked them along with the reflectors below.

My thought on the fender badges was trying that black chrome spray paint. What I gather from reviews is as long as you prep well it comes out pretty good. I want to try it before I run out of painting season.
