They do have the Panamera shrouds but in VIVID's lights his halos are switch back not the Panamera LED's. With Tony's I'm not sure if his are switchbacks.

Black frame for sure... I have the exact same Chesapeake plate, and midnight grille also and it looks way better. I have one on the back too.

Pedro's right.

I have the Panamera shrouds but with a halo behind the shroud and on the front of it. No separate LEDs with the shroud...just halos.

You're welcome, Sean. Here's an idea... while your car is at LightWerks, ask them to paint the frame you already have.

Or DIY. Or just buy a black frame. Every two years, I replace the frames because they're cheap and they fade. I've been using Cruiser Frames.

As for the bolts, I'm partial to using dress-up fender washers on the plates. For the lower two bolts, they're only purpose is to keep the frame to the plate, because it's the upper bolts that keep the whole thing on the car. But you're going to want continuity.

Yes, rear of the car as well.

Yup I don't have them, switchbacks were not readily available back when I did my headlights.

Here's a pic where you can see my plate frame. Simple black surround, with VMS fender washers in a gunmetal finish.

Yeah, looks good. I don't have a pic of mine but i like the look way better with the black frame. Especially since our plates have that ugly white border.

Does anyone know where I can buy a sedan sport front bumper painted? I have a 2011 g37x sedan. Everywhere I searched, it only comes unpainted.

You don't want to buy a bumper pre-painted. It could get damaged during shipping or the paint may be off a little so it's best to buy it unpainted and get it painted locally to make sure that everything is perfect. Also if there's an issue with the bumper and there's already paint on it then you would have to repaint it after making adjustments.
