Black out kit, exhaust plate, and Ti exhaust. This summer I'm hoping to get the back lower section painted black. Down the road, some LED tail lights as well.

After removing the trunk emblem there is a ghost of it left on the paint. You cant tell unless you look hard for it but its there. I would think after a while of sun exposure it will even out and fade a bit. I heard the front bumper has 2 holes that line it up. I wish I could remove that too. I will post some more pics.

I removed my back one this past summer, the car was a texas car, so it had seen some sun. With that being said, there was a shadow there for the first month or so, but now it's virtually gone.
