I think that glossy look can be done by adding a clear coat. The clear coat will also help with the life of the spray against the elements and car washing!!

What do you think?

I would definitely use the clear coat. A glossy finish looks great.

one coat of spray on the white part and a clear coat for sure. Now the question is do i leave in the little bumper reflectors or return them to the stock white fillers? Photoshop ftw...

Looks great. They look good the way they are. But if you want them darker, go for it.

I wouldn't go any darker on the tint - will your state motor vehicle inspection be a problem with the tint? As for the bumper reflectors; I think the matching tint looks OK. It breaks up the large expanse of white.

Another great mod job

you need to put a clear film over them to get the glossy look back that is now gone. Otherwise, looks good. DON'T GO DARKER....
