Rear piece as well?

I considered doing mine but there is NO WAY IN HELL to keep the front lip from getting scratched.

It does look fantastic painted though

Yup, rear as well. For now I am still a 4x4 so I won't hit anything. Wen I lower it just a bit it will be a bit more of a challenge. But with my other cars I had the TA front on and it was lower than stock. I got pretty good not scraping it.

I once considered painting the same items, but realized that all those areas take a real beating just from being exposed to normal street driving (from rocks, sand, and general road debris). I believe the black plastic parts wear better and won't show "hits" the way painted parts do. I decided to leave mine unpainted.

From the pictures it looks like a nice paint job though. Hope it works out for you.

I noticed that your center wheel caps on the right side of the car aren't aligned to the same reference. Have you thought about setting all four center caps to the same reference? ?

Dock, you are more **** than I am! And I say that with great respect.

On my Blue one and the White one it kept them in good shape.

Here is a helpful tip. I just masked off my front grills and shot them with some trim black. It is amazing how crisp and nice it looks to have them black and not some odd grey color........

Hard to capture. Will snap one in AM when light is better.

Best I can say is it looks crisp.

Mine are all aligned like this (valve stem 90 degrees to the script). They have to be set somewhere, why not set them all the same?
