Default JDM above bumper chrome strip question







I was wondering how the strip of chrome above the bumper and around the car was done. I wanna do it but i have to figure out if it was painted on or just like an adhesive piece that you lay around the car.....

if u know please reply.

adhesive, you can buy many different kinds and sizes. You can also go to your local autozone and pick some up.

thirdmotio is right. Adhesive is the way to go to install the chrome strip. I've seen it on a white 2001 ES w/ dubs at a meet this summer in South FL, and it looks hot

I think your talking about mine. Yeah just go to discount and get 2 rolls of the chrome strip. I recommend doing this with plenty of patience and have a buddy with you.
