Default Step One......

Painted my front "splitter" silver. When my Black Optic grill is in place, this will allow for the silver trim theme to still have a subtle presence on the front of the car.

Default Looks good! I can't tell from the pics, but...

is that a matte finish like the original trim? or a gloss?

Default Looks good. Was it hard to remove and did you paint yourself?

Thanks.
