Looks 100x better. 
I just hate the fact that the chrome is still in the 97+ tails so im leaving my trim chrome to match 
If i blackout the chrome in the tails Im doing the trim right away. Lol
Nice job man

I will say, Halon's pic makes me rethink my comments... It looks good on a darker paint job (which, ironically, is the same color as mine), although that does still fit with what I was saying about the thicker black strip needing to blend with the body color.

In calling around to various shops to get this done on my SC, one quoted a rather large price and 4 hours to get it done. Apparently, they remove the chrome pieces to apply the vinyl and reinstall the wrapped pieces which accounts for the time (and price).
I am a bit concerned that could be a risk taking these off and reinstalling them and expect a good fit.
Anyone have experience or opinions?

I don't see the need to remove the chrome strip. Mine was not removed for my job. Maybe look around at other shops or check on your Local SC Chapters on here for other options.
I used Don Nyugen Vinyl Wrapping for my install and found him on the So Cal Regional Chapter on here.
Good luck

Red is so sexy, love the car. I'm slightly in the minority but undecided. With chrome badging and tail light accents I thought the door trim was appropriate and fitting. Although, the more I look at the black trim it feels more sporty, I like it. Hmm. Love those visors though, I'm watching a pair overseas right now, may pick some up.

They are and have been discontinued for a while now.
I bought them off a fellow member who had them sitting in his garage for a long time along with other parts. He decided to sell his SC and never installed them or even opened them up so I was lucky to pick them up from him. I actually searched hard for over a year for these.
Just keep an eye out on eBay, Facebook, or the classifieds section here to see if someone who may have a set puts them up for sale.
These are very rare and extremely hard to find these days.
Good luck!

The clips are more for to keep the visors from sagging somehow during higher speeds.
I wound just clean up the area where the adhesive used to be really well and apply some new 3M double sided tape on it.
This is what mine looked like before I peeled the film off:
