Aero kit gloss black instead of body color

Has anyone had there Aero kit painted gloss black instead of body color? If so, can you post some pics?

I can go either body color, A63 lightning blue metallic or 668 jet black. The rims are going to be jet black along with the mirrors. The roof is silver but I want to wrap it black.

Seen it done, I have the gloss black trims on my aero kit and really like them. They are a ~jet black color. Match the other factory black trims. Having these would be much less then having to have those painted at a paint shop. Just install in the driveway and done.

I already purchased that kit with the GPS diffuser from ECS. That is what got my mind thinking about doing the rest of the Aero parts to include bumpers in jet black. My donor cars Aero pieces were decent but all the bottom black pieces where horribly scratched or torn due to the previous owners bottoming out. I priced the normal replacement -vs- this kit and for a small price, I get a better product that I won't have to Back to Black (or your flavor of preference) every couple months.
