I think the black chrome would work well, but I understand what you're looking for. I'm sure a black satin finish will look equally as awesome!

Thanks guys! If plastidip is done right it looks just like paint. Plus this way when it gets chipped up just feel it off and respray.

update with more pictures..... the carbon fiber wrapping of the fog light buckets didnt work so well so they will be painted black instead for now. i have installed a aeroforce scan gauge in the dash where the clock used to be though, got the window trim plastidipped, got the emblems plastidipped, and got the carbon fiber fender vents installed.

aeroforce gauge:

Good updates, fun to see you building this one.
