Went over to my in-laws house for the weekend and my father-in-law offered to mod the trunk lid as a b-day present. Figured I'd accept it. After thinking it over, we chose the trunk lid logo/light piece. The idea would be to smoke the car down the line. I've got an Argento, so the Black on Silver would be a decent look for the future. Just got finished debadging the logos and waiting for the clear to set before doing the final wet sanding, buffing and sealing to put it all back together. More pics of the final piece to follow.

Closeup of the skull. I wasn't really a fans of skulls or flames, and preferred just a solid black, but since it was a present, figured I'd have nothing to lose. Came out better than expected. Worse case, the idea was to just paint over the skull black and have a solid black bar. I think I'll keep the skull for a while.

Batman... just because =)
Installed Pics: A bit dirty as I've just driven back from Michigan and the rain hit.... but it looks pretty decent. Still have to wet sand + buff it to get rid of the slight orange peeling. I didn't get to let my father in-law finish up the final wet sanding + buffing due to scheduling and curing time, but since I could do that, I installed it and came home.
Overall, I think turning the trunk lid logo cover black adds a nice point of interest for the car and pleasantly breaks apart the lines in the rear. The skull from afar is definitely subtle enough to just be passed by as well during the night or the day, so it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb which I had reservations about.
