Looks great...
really compliments the SSM...

it can be somewhat of a difficult color to work with sometimes.

The back up lights follow the lines of the plate bezel and now it looks too rookie for my tastes.

The same can be said for the upper front grille trim piece.
Might look better with lower trim piece matte or none at all.
The interior surfaces of the grill look good matte though.
Keeps the theme flowing from front to rear.

He told me it would be cheaper to just get the car painted insted of using vinyl but since he works at a shop he got a huge discount

Yes he is haha. His car looks really good. I thought it was painted until he informed me it was just vinyl.

Keep a look out for a thread of his car one of these days. He said he was going to sign up here and do it

Don't black it out. It needs at least a little contrast against the already black grille. So I'd either leave it like that or maybe a light gunmetal color. Never seen that done before.

After looking at the crossbar more closely, did you cover that with one piece? If so, how? And you didn't even have to take the Acura emblem off?

Thanks!
