blacked-out my black CM

Went to see Lyle at Vinyl-styles here in the bay area and had him black everything out and also got the "4" done in red to match everything else. Nice guy and does great work. Love how it turned out.
(Sorry for the crappy pics. Raining and dark by the time I got home)

He's in San Carlos. Cost was around $350. Definitely worth it. He apparently also sells pre-cut kits/templates on his website. check it out:

Alright, be honest. It wasn't raining and dark when you took those pics. You just wanted to show off that bad *** garage! LOL

When my GF and I moved out here to the Bay Area we had planned to move to the city but, as soon as we saw how hard it was to find a 2-car garage, we found a place across the bridge. Glad we did.

I think it's safe to say that those wouldn't be the pictures for that

Thanks! I already have my "4" kit from him but the black treatment looks really great (as does your garage.) I could not find the black out kits on the site when I ordered the 4's so I'll look again. I might just go to San Carlos and have the same treatment done to mine when it comes in. I think it would look good on a royal grey with back top and stripes.

It's black epoxy paint with a high gloss polyurethane finish.

Just my 2¢ - That's the best looking blackout I've seen. I've heard nothing but great things about Lyle. If I were still in the bay area, I'd have to go see him when my Countryman gets here.

Was it $350 for everything or did you apply the vinyl yourself?
