Black out finished

Hi Folks: After following along here for a while, I had my 2011 ZDX Tech debadged and blacked out by a local body shop. The wheels are TSW Interlagos. I've had the car for over 18 months and if I see one a month on the road it's a lot. Rides great, plenty of room for the crap I'm always hauling around. Discontinued, shmiscontinued, I say!

Glad you got it how you want it. Why leave the window trim silver? just wondering. it's easy to black out with tape or any of the paint methods.

Not "blacked out" but it looks good.

123: I like the design lines and thought that if the window trim was black also you wouldn't be able to appreciate that. I guess I could have gone all the way with black window trim and blacking the Acura badges, tinting windows...

Look sweet... curious: why didn't you spray paint the rear bumper reflectors since you already had to take out the inserts? Also, did you wrap or spray?

It was sprayed...I'm sorry I don't know what you are referring to regarding the rear bumper reflectors - are you talking about the two red reflectors? I didn't know you could black those out without getting pulled over for having ne reflectors.

Your tail lights would be plenty "red markers" anyways.

I like it by the way. You could also use smoked film on the side mirror signals.
