I disagree, but if you want to do a "black-out" it's not hard.

Awesome! Any idea how to paint the rear emblem? Would I need to remove it first?

Loccusst, did you have to sand down the GTI before you painted it? Also what kind of paint did use? just a simple plastic paint? and lastly did you put a coat of black over it? it looks tinted or smoked or something. Looks real cool, sorry for all the questions, but props to you.

Yea, i love it! i may wanna do something like that. care to post a how too :-D
I gently sanded it to scuff up the chrome area. I painted the letters off of the little plastic part that clips onto the grill and painted them with auto paint from Autozone. The red is as close as you can get with off the shelf paint. The color is Dupli-Color Import Auto Spray Super Red II. I painted the letters a flat black primer first and did several light coats of the red. The letters will pop off rather easy if you heat the adhesive up first with a heat gun.
