What did you do to the chrome trim on the bumpers and side panels? It looks like it's Black Pearl.
I covered with pinstripe tape

That's right... It does look MORE cleaner without the chrome as it makes the car stands out w/ the chrome door handles. Do you have a close up shot so I could see if it blends in well in the real world?

The car is kind of dirty now. easy to do.less that $10 at autozone I did'nt find the exact width of the pinstripe tape so I got the 1/2" .first clean the molding with alcohol.i use a credit card type to cut the pinstripe after put it on just run the card along the side of the molding.to cut off excess tape.there a clear second layer on top.I removed make it look black chrome.the tape I look transparent black.the brand is trimbrite look better in person that on pics

Wow! Thanks for the detailed pictures. I think I might go and try this kool mod. Now isn't 1/2 is too big since our chrome is 3/8? You used the trimbrite tape underneath the pinstrip right?
