Barely enough to be considered 'trooper. Keep going! Those LED tails look great with tint. Trust me.

Here's my G for reference, CF hood, gloss black front grille, gloss balck painted roof, 20" Rohana's, the trunk is also CF:

Door handles will really pull the scheme together and they're really easy to do.

I painted mine black and its lasted pretty well but I guess I didn't sand a spot down well enough and the paint bubbled and cracked but it's an easy job to do.

Make sure you do a good job of sanding the little indents on the handles, and also prop the handles open with something so you get an even layer of paint on the inside as well.

And make not of how they look when you take them out, putting them in was a bit of a pain until I figured it out.

Passing on experience! GL

Yeah the long bent metal piece has to go back onto the mechanism that actually opens the door, I was fiddling with it for like 30 minutes before I got it.

Theres a good DIY in that section on this forum.
