SS Chrome pieces body color matched. Thoughts?

Today I wrapped the lower led chrome pieces to match the paint (as close as possible). I'm considering the front fascia in black also

Before and after:

If anyone is interested, I was able to find the closest possible blue from BigWormGraphix with their lamin-x. Also, I will do my best to describe installation if requested

Thanks! The chrome always looked out of place to me especially after I bought the color matched bowtie from River City Creations

Looks great... Would you be able to post a pic of what your tinted headlights look like with the eyeliner on? That looks awesome! Any trouble from cops with that?

Yeah, I will take pics in the morning with the eyeliner on. And absolutely no problems with cops. Although, I have heard a few stories where cops wanted to be picky and issued a ticket for tinted headlights. Depends on the cop and how much they want to follow the book despite whether it's a law or not in your state. I know it is here in Texas

In my opinion the car looks so much better when you get rid of the gold bowtie, wrap off all the chrome , take off the badges, add splitter , tint the headlights, it just looks cleaner:

I didn't do a wrap, but I did do plastic-dip with some mettalizer and gloss that turned out pretty good.
