Gill blackouts / accents

Hi I've been wondering what you guys thought the best fake gills accents/blackouts out there were. Please include were we can find them and if you'd like a picture. I've seen pictures of some that fade to black and others that are just black. I love my car and for the most part have left it completely original but I keep seeing those indentations and think something is missing or does not look right.

But it's a little pricey to do them that way.

I did just black vinyl and I'm perfectly happy with them. I got mine basically for free so it makes them even better.

Yup, got mine here as well. Bout $30 and they're subtle - not just a strip of black vinyl.. My photos don't do them justice as my car is CGM, I'll post photos when I get home.. Their website is not very user friendly either, the fades are buried under about six captions.

Hmmm....plastic applied with 3M tape...no thanks! Plus the plastic is only available in black, white and carbon fiber.

There is a picture of this setup in the Cosmetics section and it's on a SIM car. I'll try to find it and bump it for you.
