Tell you what...
I haven't been much of a Terrain fan...especially due to the chrome slab of a grill. However..what you have done has changed the look dramatically..and compliments the Terrain style into a whole new dimension. Yes..I like it that much. Best mod that I've seen!

Thanks a lot dude! When I was first looking at either these or the Nox's, I knew my car would be black because it's literally the only color I buy. So I took a picture of each grill into photoshop and compared what they looked like (I thought the grill on the terrain made it look like a transformer lol)
Anyways, the GMC symbol on the grill was really large, which made the red stick out even more, so photoshopped it black to see what it might have looked like, approved, bought the car and the vinyl and BAM...soon to be a complete murked out vehicle.
All of my previous cars had modifications on them and I've always kept a cosmetic mindset of two colors: black and chrome...stuck to it ever since and get compliments every time I park them.
My last car was matte black, but that was when I was in FL. Now that I'm in medical school in TN, there is no point on placing vinyl on the whole car to matte black it (rocks/debris)
Probably going to either powdercoat the 18" wheels black or possibly Plasti-dip them. Goods and bad to both, but leaning towards plasti-dip because I can peel off the coating when I sell it in case someone doesn't like the black wheels

What/Where is the overlay material?? I was going to buy black emblems off eBay, but $7 is way cheaper.
Here is mine so far.

For my wheels, I was thinking of Plasti-dip'ing them
but we'll see. I want to sell the car eventually, and the stock rims would look good black, just dont want to spend 2k on new wheels and keep these. I have no where to store them =/

I really like it on black, looks great! Mine already matches my color so no changes here ;D I'm currently shopping new wheels and can't decide on the look I like. I want to stick with 18", so perhaps the powdercoat or plasti-dip makes more sense but I haven't found any pics on the web of what they would look like on a Terrain..

Went and talked to some guys today about doing vinyl on all my chrome trim. The stuff they do looks sick and they ate going to do all my chrome trim for $100 or less. Sick!! Gonna get it done next week.
Here's an example of the stuff I'm gonna use:

This is a car of one of the guys that works at the shop. His car is dirty so it's hard to tell, but it looks like matte black Kevlar in person.
I'm stoked!

Just dropped my terrain off to get the vinyl done and by this afternoon it will void of chrome! Hopefully my guy can get the fog lamp inserts done. He said it may be kind of tricky. I decided to go with black gloss b/c it worked best with the Carbon Blk Metallic. I am also getting the front GMC changed to chrome with black inserts and the rear GMC will be removed.
Pictures to come.
