thanks....I think it does, I bet yours could pull it off too.....one downside of mine is they show dirt fast, especially road salt.....not sure how different the anthracite is

Ya, I'm very happy with that surround, and the heads and boostbar, even it is chrome, and the grille lights. I get a lot of looks with it. They might be saying WTF under their breathe. LOL
That other colour is the Aluminum True Metallic. The DYC website shows them spraying it, and then a light coat of glossifier.
Dr.Tinto, a business not far from my wife's house, is the only authorized installer in Michigan. They also did the tint on my widows. If I can slip away Christmas weekend, I think I'll go over there and talk to the lads. We struck up quite a conversation when I was there earlier, they're true gearheads.
Maybe I can have it done this winter after all. I'd rather do it myself, materials are only $52 something USD. But I tend to get anxious at times.

yeah it's always nice to do it yourself...there's the pride factor, the knowing what quality of work it is factor, etc
