sweeet....

Brad....this REALLY came out hot. I really like the way it looks after you did the Nightshades. I think this process would look sweet on my PG color. What do you think?
I wonder if there is someone out my way that does this....internet here I come!
Your ride looks very clean. Design is in teh details...

Newt... open the hood and I suspect you'll see a few other things that could be dipped and shaded.

With all your attention to exterior details, I'm really surprised you haven't gotten into detailing your engine bay.

Oh, here's one: dip and shade the housing around your custom fogs. Toss them in the box when you get the grille processed.

The cool thing about Nightshades is just start out light and spray until you get the tint you want. IMO it would look real nice on your PG, the grill in just the right shade would look sweet
There seems to be a pretty good number of shops doing this process now, my town is just 50,000 people so if you're near a large metropolis you should be able to find someone.
Thanks for the kind words BTW

I may get around to that, you're just nothing but trouble John
I've just never been one to mess much w/ engine bays, tricked out an old Jeep CJ5 Engine bay but that's about it. I really like what you've done w/ your under hood items so it may rub off on me.

The fogs may be tough since they're all one piece, but I'm now thinking of Nightshades on the lens for my continued "blend". Keep those ideas coming, I always respect your perspective.

You mean vinyl dip, not wrap. And even then, only if you want a pattern to your grille. If you want a single color (like the OEM midnight grille), then simply have it professionally painted. Would only cost $100 give or take to have the slats painted, and would look tons better than vinyl wrap...

...just like Newt's CF dip looks tons better than a CF wrap. Same thing.

Not sure if I wanna do with a pattern or not and I can't paint my grill since my car is a lease.

You can paint the grille to look like the OEM Midnight grille. Who's to know?

Actually if you paint it as per the midnight grill setup it would just appear that you bought the oem midnight grill, if you go w/ some other paint scheme you might have issues at turn back.

So we can return the car even with a supposed factory accessory purchased after getting the car? Only asking because I was also thinking about getting the front lip as well

Yes, as long as it's an OEM part and it's for your model. Putting a sport bumper on a journey for example may cause issues (but I doubt they'd even notice). You might want to remove the lip when you return it though, might be able to resell it here, (if you can remove it without scratching your bumper that is).
