I got my mini less than a month ago... I was not a big fan of the chrome. My boyfriend and I spent the whole day today having our "black out party" haha. We did the headlights, rims, grill, one door handle (ran out of time), and beltline. I will be putting up pictures soon !! So excited to drive my new blacked out mini!!

 

chrome and/or black should definitely have been an option from factory..
mini's look much better IMO and im sure almost everyone else's opinion being blacked out..
def post some pics

 

 

AWESOME!!! You must have a really nice boyfriend

 

Looks really good. Nice work.

 

you forgot to do the hood scoop! haha
looks awesome

 

argh Malcon beat me to the scoop by 13 min...
looks great though
you can do inside the lights too

 

Thanks! I bought vinyl wrap but it was too short for the grill (I forgot to measure first). So I played around with it and put it on the scoop, didnt like how it looked though. I'm thinking about doing the joey mod but don't know when i'll get around to it. Somone did tell me about this one though!
http://voltageproductsonline.com/bumperdecals.html. What do u guys think? I think it would look good

 

Looking good! The blacked out wheels really tie the whole look together.

 

Did you put plasti-dip on your rims?

 

No, just black satin spray paint, a can of high temp clear coats, and then a couple more coats of the black satin so theres more of a flat look!

 

now you just need to back out the headlights. Looks great.

 

Ug. Looks too much like my EB.

 

Very nice progress! I need to get rid of my last chrome part around the grill. Cant deside if I should paint it dark silver or get the Aero Grill.

 

you just had to post pics of your EB in the EB owners thread. now i'm considering what you did to your grille

looking good! black out the hoodscoop!

 

well since I've been reading that the lower grill for the aero is a PITA to do... I just settled with plastidipping the chrome around the grill, since its removable and can go back to stop anytime (but why would I ? )

 

NICE! I just got my IL plates "NO CROME"

 

no chrome is the way to go!!
I just got the last bit of "blacking out" done for now... my 20% tints all around

 

this is weird. it won't post my pics ....

 

so hotttt!! your car looks amazing! keep up the good work!

 

bonnet scoop?

 

i havent seen one that i liked yet.. suggestions?

 

flat black?

Here's the pic I was trying to get to post earlier. I think you need a Joey Mod to those lights

 

that would look good!
since everything else is flat.

 

Can you post a side shot with the 20% tint?
