Thanks for this, got some carbon fiber and matte black grills and despite
how simple this task seems there’s a little more that goes into it if
you’ve never done it…

another place?

@VivaLaNick335 of course, but it isn’t cheap!

sweet. thanks for the post. my dealer wants to charge me for 3/4 of an hour
to do this which presumably takes 15 minutes. I’ll attempt it myself 🙂

skirts,BMS pbx, steering wheel paddles retro fit and none of it was this
hard!

3:02 that is what she said haha

sillychink3293 says:

@biggurs i did the same but i used gray primer and also warmed the cans up
in cups of around 196 degree water and let it sit, it came out to be
perfect just needs a few coats every once in a while because of the sun
fade and rocks and what not

9663mu says:

same as for the 335?

cubanitolindo83 says:

Hey man, thanks for all your videos! I just used this video and the one for
the spoiler this morning and replaced all the parts easily! Thanks again!

biggurs says:

@VivaLaNick335 sand down the stock ones with wet and dry sand paper until
the shine has gone, primer it then use matt black enamel spray

Kiah Kimpo says:

I got my boyfriend the 135 performance shadow grills for his birthday.
Thanks to this video, we were able to put them in using just a flat
screwdriver. Other online articles recommended a right-angled pick. Very
informative. Thanks for putting this up.
