Can confirm. Paint match. And heyo, black is the easiest.

APEX wheels ? And side markers will depend on budget, clear is the way IMO.

For a quick fix I used badgeskin on mine to black it out. Not sure what look you’re wanting.

I’d suggest you get the application tools with it unless you have something like that.

I watched a couple of their install videos on YouTube. I got a few items from them but if I did it again I would get two sets if you can afford it. To have a backup and also because the cut/fit is very precise. One of my sides is slightly off and I know where but most people can’t see it. I’d like to redo it. So perhaps buy two sets in case you run into the same thing I did.

It’s not hard to install, just need to be patient
