Love the headlights. How’d you do it?
2020 Sting Gray 3.2 V6 4x4 Exterior Mods as of Oct 2021
These are the before and after photos of the exterior paint & vinyl work I've completed on my own.
The bottom pics are from Sept 2020 (day driven off lot) and the top pictures are current (Oct 2021)
The sun and shadows are different between the 2020 pics and the 2021 pics, but the mods are still viewable.

Thanks
They actually came factory being somewhat darker with having the black bezel. To cover the corner/amber portion I purchased from crux motorsports

I like them because you can tell it's pretty decent vinyl and it's easy to apply with them being pre-cut. It also makes the amber pretty much non visible, but does show through some when turn signal is flipped. So people can still know you're turning at least.
The 3rd brakelight and the rear reflectors blackout I purchased from the same place and they went on just as easy with also being pre-cut.
I would not however recommend their side window trim chrome delete film. It is pre-cut, however (at least for me) I prefer using a full sheet for the back cargo side window trim due to the large curves involved.

The taillight sides, crux does not offer and I was told they have no current plans to do so. So I found these on ebay. They're not nearly the quality of the crux film, bit they serve the purpose (at least until I can find something better.

Once you click above, it will take you to the motorskinz eBay store. Then just search for your vehicle. Again, I am not putting myself or my words or full support behind this product as it is not exactly what I am looking for. For me, it just serves the purpose adequately enough until I do find something closer to what I want.
I finally was able to get the stock 18's painted today and yesterday as we've had weather in the mid 50's here in ohio. So I took advantage of the temps and finished them here at home.
I think with the color scheme I've already established, that the black wheels were a necessity. However I wasn't going to pay the over $400/wheel for the factory black. This is literally about the 6th vehicle between the ones my wife and I have owned through the years in which I've painted the wheels. And not since the very first set I did have I had any issues whatsoever with flaking, chipping, bubbling or cracking.
I tried a new wheel paint this time than I've normally gone with but and I think I'm pretty impressed with the quality and the look.
