I still want to do the front grill, the blades at the bottom, and the tail pipes. I can't decide if I want to try to tackle the window surrounds myself or get a real shop to do it. it looks tricky.

Nice! Did you spray a gloss on the trunk trim? And did you notice any imperfections? I'm wanting to paint all my trim black. But plastidip would be a much cheaper way. Wanting to know how you feel the quality is.

I got the glossifier, but did not use it. I like it a lot. It doesn't quite look like flat black paint. The quality is great. If you end up doing it, make sure you spray it on thick. It will be easier to peel off the excess. Also watch the instructional videos that are on YouTube. Very good info.
