Against Graphite Shadow, these might look pretty good.

There's a thread on g35nyc of someone with a black sedan and chrome spoiler painted to match: Painted Chrome tail - G35 NYC.

I think it would look good on your graphite shadow.

That link was helpful. Give me an idea on the spoiler and the side chrome trim.

Thanks!

No problem, thought you might like those.

Just another example of my posts being un-constructive and unhelpful (cough cough)

You can have them vinyl wrapped also. Looks just as good as paint (if you have them done right) and less permanent if you ever want to go back to chrome.

Yep, I was going to have mine painted, but I didn't want to risk breaking any of the trim tabs. I did a test trial with plastidip and I was pretty pleased with the uniformity of the finish along with the durability, so I went that route. Just like vinyl, I have the option of going back to chrome.

^^ Thanks much for the pictures! It really helped me out. I will most likely do color-matched.

BTW, Nice Car! Stance is great!

I think you will be happy with the results. I did mine a week or so back and I really think it's a nice little mod that makes a big difference. Just to make things clear, that's not my Chrysler 300.

Haha, these are my fog bezels. Tony at CFElement told me he had quite the difficult time getting the resin to lay evenly...think he'd still be down to do anothe set though. I've had them on the car since November 11 and they've held up great...

Sweet setup! I actually got a glimpse of mine but should be able to see the final results today. Will post pictures of it.

Not your 300? Sureeeeeeee lol. Probably the daily driver, but the wheels are small compared to today's standards lol jk

I actually did contact him about the fogs and expected a high figure to get them done but opted out lol. The time/cost wasn't worth my return on investment. But they look damn good tho!
