Almost all blacked out

I posted this in the 2009+ JCW forum but wanted to post it here too.

Original thread with a few pics inline:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...acked-out.html

I am almost done with my black out mods. Over the past few months I got the door handle covers and front/rear MINI emblem covers from Mike at Aesthetic creations. I also got the domed center stack badge in Laser Blue. It does not match the Pacific Blue color line on my car 100% but its close enough.

It took quite a while after ordering to get the door handle covers but they look like OEM and fit perfectly. You can't tell that its a plastic cover.

I also put on domed skull and cross bones badges on the MINI emblems. It ties my antenna topper in and maybe I will ditch the "onefish2" custom NY plate and do a pirate themed plate like "yo ho ho" or "argghhhh."

I also got matte black head light rings, tail light rings and gas cap from Lyle at Vinyl Styles. Lyle's work is perfect and flawless.

The last things on the list are: the belt line, JCW grill surround, JCW side scuttles, smoke the side reflectors and get new matte black wheels like a Rota RB or get my Challenge wheels powder coated.

All pics that I took today are here:

It was hard to get decent pics with the position of the sun. I am not the best photographer but these are better than nothing.
