Looks great! Where did you buy the wrap the for the sides and and how did you remove the spindle grille to paint it???
*** I got it done at a local shop here in SoCal, they used 3M 1080. I took the cover off over the grill (little pop up things, super easy). Then took some pliers to get the little fasteners off, and that was it. Got new fasteners (like $0.12 ea I think) and put the new painted one back on - super simple

Looks good Mike, great job to the shop did them for u and good job on painting the emblems. I really like how u did the front emblem, looks good. Also like the calipers, Id like to do mine too, but havent found an good shop in my area to get them done yet. So we will c. Keep them mods coming dude.
That looks really nice, wonder how my starfire pearl would look all blacked out? Hmmm
** My last car was white (not pearl) and I did the same thing (blacked everything out), but I actually made the emblem white so that it would blend with the car instead as the black REALLY stands out. I would try to photoshop a picture of your car, but I think someone posted something they did with plasti-dip already **

Isn't it that front vehicle plates are needed in California?
** Ya, California you have to have plates, but it is only a $30 fix-it ticket, so it is worth not having a plate and they really don't give you too much of a problem **

I have to give your credit for doing what you truly feel comfortable with and if you are happy that all that matters. I have a Nebula grey F-sport and the color is amazing. Enjoy that car!
