I've been looking for any company that makes gloss black trim pieces for the car.

Is the s650 still too new that aftermarket companies haven't made a lot of parts for it yet. I'm going to be taking the parts I circled to a body shop to be painted soon unless I can find them somewhere else. Ive already ordered my rear gloss black spoiler and rear gloss black bumper cover. Ive seen carbon fiber side skirts but no gloss black. If I have them painted I will be adding ppf to them knowing they will take a beating. This is only not my everyday driver (put on 1700 miles since buying it in October of 25'. Much appreciated for everyone's time, Have a good day!

I'm with you. I asked the dealership and 2 other paint shops, and they told me because those piece have that texture on them that they cannot be painted.
I bought the 3 front pieces from RTR, but had to have them painted because they only come in matte black. Now at least the front of the car will all be gloss to match the grill and hood vent.,
As for the sideskirts, and bumper, I can't find any either.

Thats bs, the 22+ wrx has those ugly textured black fender flares. People were getting those painted a couple years before the after market stepped in and offered painted flares. The shop had to sand down the textured pieces smooth then paint them.

Yes, exactly. The texture needs to be totally smooth, but the texture on those pieces is on every surface (edge, ridge, flats, angles, etc). That would take a painter longer to sand then just buying new pieces, and painting them.
