    Raced home for lunch after 2 hours of thinking about it and felt my car needed a hint of bling instead of going flat black with them... I LOVE THEM .... Now If I can just get the letter "A" to stay on.. it seems kinda ewwwwwk. I used the "sticky" crap it came with.. now im thinking it was a bad idea ! NOne the less here are the pics

    They would also look nice if they were blackened or flat black. :)

    I was thinking that as well but I already hav black Saleens,.... Black out panel in the rear, flat black CDC spoiler .... flat black 14" rotors and pistons.. I have nothing that is chrome... it kinda makes it pop a little !

    ...and that is the reason you should paint them flat black. just my opinion though.

    Looks good!
    Black may have looked better, BUT they're not that hard to remove and replace...one day if you so choose.
    On the prep, did you wipe the area several times with rubbing alcohol before applying the letters? If so, perhaps the adhesive on the A was not up to par:(

    Make sure you clear them before install. At least with a matte clear if you don't want them shiny.
