paint the side chrome piece on the outside edge NGM
and all the plastic NGM except for the mesh part which will be left glossy black.
then leave the center strip and emblem chrome

should look good, thank you a million times for posting that picture cus i had such a hard time trying to pic that in my head, now i know what to do. should have just made our cars like that stock. soo much better.
sounds like a perfect plan. and agreed, it should have came that way stock.

..why photoshop it? If you even bothered to look through the thread, you'll see that I have mine painted the way you want it.. here's a better shot of it. Try skimming through the thread next time..

Its not real CF, I just went to crappy tire and bought the CF wrap kit and then i went home and wrapped it myself. if you were to change the interior pieces in CF i would go for the real cf reflective-ish material, cuz ull be looking at it all the time when ur in the car.
