MOD UNVEIL: Custom Magnaflow Axel-back exhaust (PART 2 of 2) - SEE ABOVE FOR PART 1
Build pics and other videos - startup/idle sound and under hard acceleration.
To give it the close-to-stock look and hide the weld-work, I painted it with high-heat flat black paint.

Rustoleum ProGrip "plastidip" emblems, washers, and grill
MOD UNVEIL: "Plastidipped" front and rear chrome elements. Added carbon fiber on front spoilers.
Used Rustoleum ProGrip which behaves like Plastidip. You can peel it off at any time. I used the Smoke color which is semi-transparent and the advantage to this is that it still brings out the base color. On chrome, a sparkle of chrome comes out and on the ultrasonic blue paint, it made it a greyish navy blue - I liked it so I kept it withing the "L" logo at the back. The more coats applied, the darker the result. I applied 4 coats which gave me the right look to match the F-Sport grey and the grey vinyl on the mirrors and front spoilers Speaking of which, I also added carbon fiber vinyl aft of the stickers on the front spoilers to complete the look.
The keen eye will notice I also did the "questionably useful" headlight washer nozzles and I debadged the AWD logo.

WOW 
Car looks amazing after your recent mods. Great color match with the grey there on the emblems and also the front lips with the touch of carbon fiber. Good combo there. Also the Magnaflow Axel-back exhaust looks great. Great job so far on your sweet ride
Love this USB color..... Wish we had this in the USA.....

Next, you have to try the smoke spray color on the crome window surrounds
Likeing everything exept the two tone bottom of the mirror. The top of the mirror housing looks ok, but the bottom where front half is grey and rear half is blue looks a bit odd..

Thanks!
Thanks! 4 coats. Anything less and the coating becomes too thin for durability. Anything more you'll have a darker trim/color.
