Thanks 3Cat.
The side and rear bright trim pieces are painted gloss black metallic. The mirror caps are oem primed caps painted the same color.
The front end bottom 3 grilles are susceptible to chipping so I chose to get the OEM black optic parts for those.
The only vinyl on the car are on the hood (PPF) and window trim.

Really wish I didn't have to add the front plate but I've been ticketed before and don't want to give the CHP another reason to pull me over.

Brett C , She is gorgeous the front end looks so angry.
It's sad what our police have became in the this country. It seems as if their main job is to collect money for the city/state. Although no front plate is a pretty serious crime.

it’s unfortunate, because the front plate becomes the focal point of your front end with the bright Yellow letters......

Thanks 3cat! I'm really loving the car and agree with your sentiment regarding the revenue collection role of the police.

Beautiful! I love Daytona Gray - but I am biased!

I want to order the “RS” style grille but living in New Jersey and “revenue hungry” LEOs precludes that as the good aftermarket RS style grilles do not offer a license plate mount.

I guess I should have ponied up for the genuine RS! Beautiful car — Congratulations.

Maybe a black frame around your plate will help. I'm still riding around the Bay Area without a front plate. No street parking and I basically roll the dice out here.

Hopefully i can find a shop to install my RS grill soon.

Road trip to LA and Legoland this week with the family! The S5SB has been a great long distance cruiser so far.

Thanks Nikon1, from one biased Daytona Gray lover to another...
