my 2010 octane blue gts

just blacked out the center of my bumper...
the projector headlights are factory (available as a 2010 option)

future mod...
-paint the center brake light with the vehicle color
-cold air intake
-paint stock rims... maybe low-gloss gunmetal or low-gloss black

If you're going to black out yours, use SEM Trim Black.

well I didnt sand it off. I did use the sandpaper to flatten out the texture. I used the scotch brite for adhesion (before spraying anything). and after I completely covered the pieces and the spot on the bumper with the trim black paint, I used the sand paper to sand out the texture, and I then sprayed couple more coats, which gave me a nice smooth texture.
