New to me black on black 2016 'vert

Hey, Sacramento, black/black 'vert with "optometrist-recommended windshield tint," as well as dark AF front windows (also optometrist-recommended, Cal. Vehicle Code 26708).
2016, new to me. I replaced rear center brake light and front yellows with black ones.
Going to tint emblems, leave headlights alone, but when I'm rich, order OEM clear rear lights- trying to keep it as hyper-technically legal and black(/clear) as legally possible- even if I have to get pulled over occasionally (err... don't laugh [or do], but it's been ~20 years since my last ticket of any kind).
Gonna "pot meet kettle" powder coat the oem silver wheels after my second rich...

**This site already saved me a dealer trip due to weird "courtesy lights won't turn off" issue, so thanks for AWESOME knowledge base.**

I'm an attorney (California, "Sorry, I don't do 'that' kind of law- seriously"), and gone are the days of my engine modifying (vq35de, xoxo).

Either search isn't working, or I don't know how to use internet links (I think search is broken). Anyone got an easy and lasting way to make the chrome door handle button black (and not wear thru)? Thanks x2!!

Probably just use vinyl. Should be easy to wrap and a ton of videos about it. Vinyl, scalpel, heat gun.

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
