Talking Just joined the Family (now what?)

Hello all! I finally joined the family. Just two days ago I bought a 2012 g37 sedan. I love it so much and I'm happy to join the forums/family. I had a few questions regarding appearance mods. First off, how should I do the girll? I want to just go out and get a bottle of Plasti dip and go at it but I want to know if there's a better way? Also I'll be tinting my rear lights to be darker. I want to know if anyone prefers brand or store that would be best? Going back to using Plasti dip, how do I paint the chrome window trim? that is all guys! Sorry for the long message, just trying to find out what's best for my car and my wallet!

You can always vinyl wrap your grille and window trim I'm planning on wrapping mine gloss black, many get away with plastic dip but I would prefer wrapping

I've purchased all of mine from Autovinylsolutions.com. Wrapped the top high gloss black, grill high gloss black (except Mt Fugi), and went with matte black for the window trim. The key to installing the vinyl is "patience"....Oh & order extra just in case!

Thanks man! That helps a lot! I asked one of my friends about an online store called CarID or something like that and he said not to use them.. Has anyone used them before and what were your thoughts?
