Yea, someone needs to post more pics. For $17.00 though, I figured I'd give it a try, so if no one posts more pics, I'll post mine when finished. It might be a few weeks though.

Nah, Splat said that ^ above. Hopefully he will post some pictures.

Mine will be a weekend project too, but not for a few more weeks.

Do it!

I think the blacked out trim looks better than the chrome on ANY color, but that's my personal taste, because I don't like chrome.

Bought mine yesterday. Great alternative to painting which had me a little worried. As long as this holds up to heat and washing, cuz it looks good.

assuming the fit and finish of the tape is good, it should look a lot like this..which I think looks great. I love my painted trim and believe that is the ultimate way to do it but hell, for $17 bucks a little time it's definetely worth a shot!

That's a good idea, and if it doesn't work out then at least it's pretty cheap! ha ha

i agree it is cheap, and a good idea, but it comes out to like 50ish to canada
ill wait until someone posts some nice close up and hopefully distance pics of the tape
