I like it a lot! I might consider doing the same as my SHO is also a black 2013 but I wonder want it would look like if I keep the side vent untouch? Are your brake calipers painted or covered?

What kinda cost did you pay as sort of a benchmark for the rest of the forum?

I went back and forth on the Sho emblem in the fender whether or not to leave it chrome.  I'm really liking the all black look and it should look better whenever I go all black with wheels.  The calipers are painted.

The painted trim and the car look awesome.

What's your plan for the wheels?  Paint, powder coat? gloss, flat, something else?  I definitely want to paint my rims black while leaving the SHO polished aluminum.

I'm not a big fan of the looks of the stock wheels and most likely will use them for winter duties.  Trying to find a set of gloss black wheels that I like to run in the summers.

After much consideration I backed out Dark; going to leave my chrome where it is.

You shall be the only all black SHO I know of in 13 model.

Your all black looks good! I bought an extra front grill for my 2011 and played around with plastidip and I think it looks good. Now I'm going to pay someone to professionally paint all of it flat black or plastidip so there isn't any chrome left. It looks so much better like that with a white car.  ;D
