Do it, it looks great. Mine was black from the factory but it was a little faded so I redid it with satin black.

My cousin thought it would look better cleared rather than just flat black. @ the time I was not happy, love it now.

Has anyone done the one under the wipers.did my rear one gloss black

I asked them to paint my wiper cowl, as well. My cousin says paint doesn't stick to that material, well. Might work perfect, or peels off while driving down the highway? He just told me he doesn't like painting that stuff. I thought it was basically the same material my mirrors are made out of. He said they aren't even close. I found a carbon fiber one he said will hold the paint. Kinda forgot all about it though.

Well I started about 6 today and with a small pizza break finished up about 7 and let it dry for a good time. It was really muggy outside (typical houston weather) so the lens fogged up on the first shot..

I put away the camera at food time so no real finished shot but it came out awesome, well worth the doing.

Same here, mine came factory with the black valance but there is yellow swirl marks on there from before my brother owned the car, not sure from what though lol.

I used gloss and like it a little better personally. I had to laugh when I noticed you masked off the tail pipe as I realized I didn't have to because of my side exhaust...
