The shop that did my tints is willing to do my front grill and window trims. Now i have to decide if i want to wrap the front grill in gloss black or matte black. I have a USB RC. Also, I'm getting the roof in glossy black for sure.

I did just that and absolutely love the way it turned out. Mine are tinted. Heres a pic:
Its hard to tell from the picture, but in person, the L is just visible during the day time and really looks great!

It literally will start to fall off after a month, so i decided to plasti-dip mine and it came out great.
Do you have any pics of plastidipping yours, did you do it yourself.

I ended up wrapping the window trim myself because the plasti dip started to fall apart. Let me see if I have any pictures of the window trim when it was plast dipped.

Here is a youtube video of a guy tinting his GS F embelm. It turns out to not provide that much darkening and I believe he says that he ended up doing something else. If you used a darker tint than he did I think it would turn out pretty nice. I used Vvivid vinyl wrap for my taillights. They sell a dark black that I think would be perfect.

I did exactly that with dark black VViVid headlight tint from Amazon, it looks a little too dark though I might swap it out for a lighter tint.
