I heard using "back to black" on the mirror pieces and TC grills work really good.

I used that stuff... It kind of works but really once it dries its gone. Definately not a 'fix', more of a spitshine sort of thing at best. Tire shine works better

Get them professionally cleared before install, or you'll be selling it on here later with fade spots for cheap, or asking us how to save them later on. Happens too often on here.

I know it varies from place to place, but about how much do you think it would cost to get a cf wing blade, bowtie, and maybe those pillars cleared?

That sounds about right, I'll have to check around a couple places here.

The trunk with the holes I wouldn't pay anymore than $200 for, $300 for the other. There was one for sale locally a few months ago for $250. Wish I would have bought it.
