Thanks man! You'll love the Evo-R lip, that's the same reason I bought it. Just be careful with driveways, especially if your Z is lowered. I always have to go in at a sharp angle to avoid scraping it.

Did you blackout your taillights with VHT NightShade or got them tinted with a film? Rims look good btw

Got the tail lights painted by a body shop. Had them tinted with vinyl earlier, but it kept bubbling so I got a refund for that. Thanks

Well I got a bit of a discount since my cousin knows a guy at the body shop. Tail lights were $100, I pulled them off the car and dropped them off at the shop to avoid some labor costs. To get the lip painted was another $100. A full bumper might be like $400-600 to paint.

Thanks guys! I'd say it's like a darker version of the 40th Anniversary wheel color.

yeah please explain...did it not break the seal the first time you used the handle?thats why i havent done it yet because i thought it would

I had it on my door handles for 3 months. I had put it on them before and had taken it off after a week which was no problem but when it was left on for 3 months it was incredibley difficult to remove. It did not come off easily, it broke off at the edges which caused me to spend a couple of hours scrubbing it off in tight spots and I'm probably going to have to take the handles off this weekend to get into some of the small cracks/spaces. My suggestion if you want to make your door handles black, just spend the extra money and have a professional paint/powercoat them.

Did it leave any kind of residue or fogginess when u took it off after 3months?or was it just hard to get off?

Thanks for the helpful information. I taped off most of the clear bra and the front hamburger came out good. There are little pieces of black plastic that got caught on the edge of the clear bra but for the most part I was able to get it all out.

Thanks again!
