plasti dip the silver or wrap it.

or go to www.expresspaint.com and buy a 12oz paint matched spray can for $25 and spray this over your cf vinyl or plasti dip. dont forget clearcoat. if you dont like it, then just remove it.

looks good man

I'm liking it. Blue is a unique color to begin with and the mods are pretty unique too.

No Prob...Well about clearing the headlights I kind of like the orange in the headlights I feel it gives the car a nice contrast ("JDM look") Now I can't say I wouldn't do it one day but I would probably either (A) paint the black inside to match our vortex blue paint.(saw it done on a TL before it looked sick) Or (B) Black out most of the inside of it leave very little chrome.
