Sanded for it to get painted and i actually like how it came out looking flat black.
I really like those. I'm not sure if I like them because they blend in really well with the color of the bumper, or because it looks so much better than stock. Maybe both. For that color car, they look absolutely perfect. For any other color, I just want the vents to go away. :)

Vents to go away...if it were possible..maybe take out the rear garnish and somehow filled it back in with a metal panel. Perhaps counter sunk screws around the cover or bondo it up completely and repaint bumper ? So many ideas. Hopefully next gen wont have them or at least make them functional.

Thanks! Took a dremel with a cutting wheel to the vent then switched over to a grinding stone to clean it up then ran some 200 sandpaper over it to finish up by hand. I used galvanized sheet metal from lowes and cut it down so it was just bigger than the opening, then I wrapped the sheet metal with my silver wrap I had left over from my wing. It gets pinched in there when you install so I didn't have to physically attach it to the vent frame. I should've snapped a few pics though.

Wow thats good. Very nice job. U know..iv been thinking of vinyl wrap as well. Im working on some front overlay garnishes and looking at yours i would have not notice the difference from paint to vinyl. Looks awsome jtrader. Give u lots of props cause i know the time and effort doing that.

I much prefer opening the vents using mesh. The above looks like an empty picture frame IMO.
