I used TrimBrite black out tape. https://www.amazon.com/Trimbrite-T9005-Black-Out-Tape/dp/B00029XD62
Honestly attempt it yourself. It's like $12 on Amazon (you may need to get 2). And if it doesn't work out then take it somewhere.

Ordered this stuff from Amazon.
Beware that it's REALLY difficult to get it to work real nice around the sharp corners of the trim. I didn't try heating it up or anything because it's a matte black and I didn't want it to gloss over from heat/melting.
Honestly, you might want to look into vinyl wrapping through a local tint shop or similar - you should have better results that last longer. This stuff chipped and pealed in some areas after about 9 or 10 months in mild PNW weather.
For the window trim I wouldn't suggest painting it. I suggesting picking up a few rolls of this http://www.amazon.com/Trimbrite-T9005-Black-Out-Tape/dp/B00029XD62 I think 2 covers the whole car and then some. Also pick up a cheap exacto knife.
For the kidneys and front grille I suggest popping them out and painting them. Do a dark primer and then my suggestion would be a flat or semi-gloss black. Shouldn't cost much.
You should put vinyl blackout tape over the parts you want to murder.

Taking it off and re-taping it would be way cheaper https://www.amazon.com/Trimbrite-T9005-Black-Out-Tape/dp/B00029XD62
I've heard good things about this
I'd measure your trim and make sure it's wide enough before ordering though. Make sure you get some as wide as the trim you're blacking out.
