Anyone have any thoughts? I'm going to wrap my 2011's grille in 3M Scotchprint 1080 Matte Black. $50 buck worth But I have a white car, so gloss black wouldn't be that great. Now, since you have a Tuxedo car, it's hard to say what will look better. Gloss might be better in that it will match your wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I could help... your car looks pretty mean BTW. One suggestion, HID retrofit: FX-R projectors and Gatling Gun shrouds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal3thousand Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Is that an easy install? It sounds expensive.... Not exactly. requires retrofitting projectors to your current halogen housing. Would cost about $400-500 depending on the equipment. BUT your lights would shine like this: Imagine these in your headlight housings: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
