It should have come like this from the factory IMO
On the chrome handle, the vinyl was easy to get on the face, but pretty hard to wrap around. It looks fine for the 99% of the time you don't see the underside, but the underside doesn't look great. The chrome can be removed, so I may try to take it off and wrap it better some other time, or now that I know it looks good find a shop to do it for me. For $10 worth of vinyl and 30 minutes of work, it's sufficient.
For comparison, here's what she looked like before:

The rear looks great but the front looks a tad to busy for my tastes. The chrome on the grill and the yellow are to many things going on.

Eh, I like it. It looks way better than the gold. I might try to black out the chrome on the grill sometime, but I think it would look cheap then, oddly enough.

I'm with Kouryukk, a good dechrome would do wonders in making it look more agressive. I think this may be a good application for matte black or even gunmetal plastidip.

Try some matte black plasti-dip, its 4$ a can and if you don't like it you can peel it off. I agree 100% on the gold, the black looks much more aggressive.

I've got some, I did the grill in red but the edges got messed up pretty easily. I might give it another try with black this weekend. It would be better to pop the chrome off and dip it separately, but the whole number has to come off to get it off :/

Yea I had to take off the entire grille and take it apart to make my red stripes gunmetal,
they look great though.

Yeah, the only thing I would have changed is tinted the bottom lights on the front orange to break it up.
