Not bad - different.? It's definitely a distinctive look.? It's fairly subtle, and certainly sets off the front end.? They painted, powder-coated, what?

I don't think you can powder coat plastic (the material needs to be a conductor, doesn't it?) so I'm betting its simply painted.

Not sure it makes that much of a difference on a silver car since the car is already so bright. Looks good though!
Bet it would be more obvious on a black or dark-colored car.
