Pretty sure I saw a pic on another site where a guy painted his roof with plasti-dip. If I wasn't so lazy I'd go look for it!!

Done all that.

You gonna do the interior rings, too?

I have 4 GXP badges that are all black, need overlays.

I popped mine out, it's very easy. Take one of the headlights out, and push the grille closest from behind, then using the space from the grille that just came out, push the other out. The chrome ring comes right off, as well.
