Pre-facelft, need to remove the chrome strip beneath the "T". Anyone know how without breaking it?
You can access the tabs from the backside, but they are not easy to undo without fear of breaking one or two. Here’s the vid, but it def was not as easy for me so I didn’t go through with it.
I ended up just masking and Plasti-Dipping and it came out great.

I want to see these painted nosecones... just painting them black again to cover rock chips, etc? Or body color, or.. ?

I wrapped my cone with cheapo carbon fiber look vinyl... and I actually get compliments on it.

I left the little wedge above the chrome strip gloss black (too hard for me to trim pieces in there) and wrapped the cone portion below the bar.
 
I wrapped mine while still attached to the nose cone. I’m amateur AF, but it came out well I think

Now to do the whale mouth trim around the nose cone
