I highly suggest a drop for the car and as for tints I have 20% and love it. As for blacking out the chrome I'd use vinyl wrap and not plastic dip

Check the tint laws in your area if 20% is legal before you go ahead with it...less headaches.

I think that will be a good start.
Are you suggesting to do away with all the chrome and just using gloss black vinyl and then rap the roof of the car too in black??

I just ordered the blue interior lights, along with the logo door light. I thought about wrapping the interior but I like the look of the wood finish with the aluminum, and also love the weatherteck mats that I bought they worked great this winter.

Check your local laws though, this is an easy ticket you can avoid. I started out with the same chrome grille, I went a more permanent direction and painted it, same with the trunk chrome bit. A blacked out roof, mirrors, and the diffuser area (even though no diffuser, it looks beautiful when done) Since you have the black wheels, I would even do the headlights black. (not tint, the inside)
In your opinion 25% all around would be good. How did you paint the emblems and lettering? I found a carbon fiber diffuser online for around $300 along with a trunk lip for $200. And for the headlights what do you mean. Thanks

Yes...
Would be fitting for the look that I think you are after.

I purchased a set of GTR Style Taillight overlays from Andy (Blue Batmobile), but couldn't find an installer in my local area that could do it.
Ended up returning it back to him and replaced it with the carbon fiber vinyl wrap for the rear valence.

I had a set custom cut with Lamin-X by Rob at SunStoppers in Stoughton, MA. He did an amazing job, so I went back to have my rear valence vinyl wrapped in 3M Gloss Black and tinted windows with SunTek Carbon 35% on my Q50S.

Your choice...most people do matte.

I did gloss for my Q50S.
