I've been really wanting to do that. How do you get the line so perfect at the edge?

Believe it or not I used Krylon Satin black (for plastic) spray paint. For the edges I used pinstriping tape around the edge (took a little patience) and then painters tape at the edge of the pinstripe tape..Then the plastic cover from the painters tape foward to cover the car from overspray...As you can see I just used newspaper to protect the exhaust from overspray..The prep took about an hour but it's worth it..About 5 coats 2 minutes in between. My exhaust tips are all welded so I had to cover them..It's tricky painting between the tips and the under side of the fascia and also in the leuvers without pooling up the paint...Patience definately was a big element for pulling this off without blemishes. If you're the DIY kinda guy it's a rewarding little project.

Looks good, I had mine done in yellow as I have a NBM and the black didn't really show well.
