My car has sat dormant for a few months due to quarantine and needed some TLC. I had looked online for pics of a pinstripe removal on a Black R, w/o too many results, so I thought I’d post what the car looks like along with my eBay vents.

After a wash, clay bar, rubbing compound (Remove swirls), and a ceramic coating, here are the results. Hope this helps y’all if you’re debating the idea.

I placed 3m black pin stripe tape over my red along the lip. It hides it perfectly, no removal, and the best part is, if I decide to go back to red I can peel it right off. Had it on for almost a year and no stripping or peeling. Definitely makes a difference. Amazon sold the tape for ~$10

When i put on my new grille I noticed that the front bash bar was shining pretty bright and detracted from the aesthetic of everything being black so while i had the bumper off i spray painted the bash bar black, and I think if you did that too especially the now real vents it would look a bit better
