it looks real good, but now it looks like you need something black on the side. maybe the side scoops? if you plan on getting chrome rims i would get a chrome insert. i think maybe a black insert might be too much black going on back there. but it looks good right now. i think i would get the chrome insert, because with the black it would stand out good

I taped off the area and sanded it with 300 grit sandpaper. Then I used 3 coats of flat black followed by 1 coat of clearcoat. Overall it was very easy to do, the hardest part is taping it off evenly.
