Default Custom Black Corners

Just washed the car at my friend's body shop (Rojo Collision in brooklyn) and he buddy had an idea for swapping out the amber corner reflectors. He had some black mesh which we fashioned and shaped. I think it looks bad ***, especially on black.

The whole car finished. Tinted windows and windshield.

Can't really tell if it matches the front mesh or not. If it does, then I think it looks smooth....if the pattern is different, then I wouldn't roll it.

I have the stillen grill and it matches the mesh type, however the stillen grill is unpainted aluminum. I am going to have the grill sprayed black this week. I want everything except the door handles black (and the wheels for now)

No. My friend has a body shop. It's grill meshing that comes with aftermarket audi RS4 bumpers.

jeez man, Im all for the tint, and lovin the corners.

but there is no way you can see at night. I dont think a track would even let you race that thing at night... youve SEVERLY impaired your vision with that.

what good is a Z if NOONE can see that your driving it?

Ok guys!! the tint on the windshield is not as dark as it appears in that picture. It's 35%. My brother who is the most anti-tint person you could ever meet said that being inside looking out, he would never have known it was tinted without having told him first. The pic was taken inside a body shop with high intensity overhead lights. The brighter it is outside the car, the darker the tint looks.
