I had a bunch of trim parts painted by a body shop; not sure what specific brand or product they used. It's not reflective in a way that's distracting at all. DO IT! It looks so good :)

Great! It looks worse than the current generation. Nice work. Now all they need to do is keep the 200hp output and it pretty much guarantees they won't sell any!
