Default No More Chrome...almost
Plasti-Dipped everything...wheels, grill, emblems, window trim

For the wheels, I sprayed the whole center cap, then peeled the plasti-dip off the "L"

really happy with how it came out...such a great product and super easy to work with. A whole new look for 3 cans of paint...or $21...haha

Exactly what I was thinking. If you want to to go the dark look with no chrome the owner needs to tint those windows.

+35 on the TINT NOW, 5%

I also don't like the dark wheels. You don't have to go 100% chrome, but something lighter than black would look better IMO
