noticed it right away....

even though that was almost a trademark for your car, i agree with the rest, it looks MUCH better without the chrome on the C Pillars

Wow the BlueLex trademark is gone!!

Funny thing is I didn't recognize it as your car untill someone mentioned the chrome c-pillars missing.

Look'n GOOD!!

A that was mad easy but kinda disappointed. I think you may have let a little someone talk you out of the chrome. You know we talked about this, hell that is how I met you. Oh well the car still looks sick and it does give it that different look.

thanx guys... the sticker was getting a little messed up and i just wanted 2 do something different...no one talked me out of it i just decided i wanted a small change...i actaully took the sticker off and cleaned it down 2 the chrome underneath the black paint..than i noticed that i really did't like the all chrome and prefered the black look 2 keep it clean and simple..so i ended up repainting the area myself...came out really well...

here is a pic of the chrome underneath as i started 2 take of the black paint.. trust me its not worth it.. i'm glad u guys like it and ya i guess that dam sticker was my trademark but things change and i feel this one was 4 the better....thanks again guys....

4 some reason my lazy butt thought i could just paint over the original black without sanding it down.. and as u can c that didn't work , so double the work was done 2 have 2 strip it down 2 the metal again 2 repaint fresh...but everything came out really well so i'm happy in the end...i used an old car cover i had and ripped it 2 cover the car...i never liked that cover anyway

woWOWOW you car looks like a million bucks and looks actually finished without the chromey bling-bling. I totally understand that people have different tastes and ideas about their cars, and I always refrain from commenting, but I must say I am glad you did this mod. Nice one. Now chroming that engine bay on the other hand....
