Does anybody have pics of it? The nasty looking plastic piece that is in front of the windshield washer fluid.

I was thinking of buying sheets of carbon fiber rolls and laying them over the factory pieces and drowning them in gloss laquer. I think carbon fiber is going to be my next addition to the polish/ de-clutter theme.

I just recently took out the bumper support along with all the brackets in the front end and am having them painted. I'll post pics once they are done, the parts are at the painter now.

This is kind of a bad angle, but this is what I did with rattle can. It turned out pretty good and is glossy, but just not like I wanted it. I think it look real good when done .. hopefully lol
