Looks very nice and I like that you kept the mirrors untouched. I see that you're in MA (I'm in western mass) so I'm interested to to know where you got it done. I have a gray sq5 coming in about a month and been thinking about getting it blacked out.

I'll let the OP confirm but it seems like this is the same car I saw on IG and the work was done by eliteautocoatings. If so, it's Halo EFX which is supposed to hold up much better than plastidip.

Was it plastidipped or something like Halo EFX?

Would love to see some more close ups of the grill!
Halo FAX, I'll take a close up of the grill on post it.

It was done at Elite Auto Coatings in Walpole.

Halo EFX holds up very well. I had all the trim blacked out on my previous vehicle and it held up for two years with no issues.

I've heard and seen the horror stories as well. While the less expensive option, it does begin to weather a lot faster than other methods.
