Before I switched to a TF Heat Extractor and CF Splitter, Adam's VRT worked well for me.What does everyone use to keep the heat extractor and the front spoiler lip looking so black and glossy looking?

Thanks! VRT worked well on the OEM parts, but the pics are of the "upgraded" TrueForged Extractor (which I had done in a satin finish to match the stripes) and Tru-Fiber Carbon Fiber Splitter. Apologies for any confusion!That Adam's VRT product worked really well on your heat extractor, Norton. Is it the photo, or does the VRT give a satin finish? Whatever it is, I like it.
I personally love the base wheels more than the upgrade wheels. My car just wouldn’t look the same with those.

Agreed. I liked them so much I bought 2 base sets to make a set of 20” all around with the rears widened to 11”.I personally love the base wheels more than the upgrade wheels. My car just wouldn’t look the same with those.
I thought you had super snake wheels on yours?Just no love for the stock wheels!!!

To my eye, a slightly darker color would have provided more contrast, like post # 1645 showed..Those are so nice on your GT-500. And the finish really accentuates your gray paint.
I wasn't a real fan of the PP Rims and liked the Base rims more. They were "meh" and a pita to clean.Just no love for the stock wheels!!!

Honestly...I do not like the PP wheels. Hated cleaning them & didn't like the 19'' & 20'' sizes. Sold my PP wheelsView attachment 1736706View attachment 1736707 - got a polished set & black set of Shelby Venice wheels. 20'' & 20"...wider too. Waaaay easier to keep clean!

just my uneducated opinion, the SVTPP Rims were ok but I thought they only matched the dark gray/silver or black color cars. Seemed not to match the lighter colored cars as well as the base rims do.View attachment 1736750View attachment 1736751
I was trying to get a good picture in the sun. The SVTPP wheel finish is such a perfect color to me! I love the color shifting effect it gives. Interesting point but base wheels actually are the same paint process but the SVTPP gets a few (he said 2-3) extra coats of the dark base before the matte clear.
All ‘13-14 wheels were done at Helios Coatings near Cleveland OH.

Here's one, from a 2019 car show in Old Colorado City. Ceramic coating really amplified the shine...
