Looking to black out the silver front and rear bumpers as well as the tire cover
I've seen some have been done, what method was used?
Paint
Plastidip
Wrapped

i was pretty certain on painting mine but then i would have to ppf it and those sections with holes everywhere would be a issue with no ppf options.

i am most likely going to plastidip or hyper dip when rock chips in mind. Hyperdip is a new form and has a gloss black option now

Have you ever seen Hyperdip in person? I'm struggling to believe that it would be a nice consistent finish out if a spray can, especially gloss.

I have been watching youtube video's for the install and there seems to be some companies out there that specialize in it....

I have not seen it in person and concerned how it holds up

@Moretti - Can you share the YT link? I'm not too lazy to do my own Google, but I'm not sure I would get the right search terms. Thanks!

@mshotel - I'm sure there's going to be many opinions re: that, but I kinda like it. Any videos that you've seen / made or would recommend watching to see how to do it or more details?

Also, any problems with any of the radars/sensors/etc.?

Thanks for posting the pics.
