Default Worried about chrome?

I'm not fond of stick on items but I have found a couple of pieces that hide some chrome on a car that has most of it in black chrome. Already had the mirror caps covered with dry carbon and saw the covers for the chrome strip below that. Carbon Addict didn't offer. What the heck, I'll give'um a try. Really happy with the match, sorry for the bad pic but it was dark in the garage but ain't gonna pull out just for a pic

Prolly not for everybody, but works for me

Looks great. I might try that on my mirrors--do you have a link? Thanks,

^^ I see those covers are made by Jogon. I put their CF door switch covers on my RCF, well made stuff.

Good to know. $77 is not a bad price if it's a high quality piece that doesn't look out of place once taped on.

Yes, that's the same guy. I had looked at them last week and he sent me a offer of $66 if I bought right then. Feel free to mention that "twoksoftail" made a purchase for $66 and ask for the same offer. I got my caps from Carbon Addicts and I don't see caps on Jogons site. Very good quality, real carbon fiber.
I went to his store and the caps are available there. Cheaper than Carbon Addicts.

Thanks. I think I'll hold off on the caps since but I would like a quick way to get rid of the chrome there, so this sounds good. I made the same offer let's see what they say.

I picked these up from the ebay seller at $66 + $8 shipping. Plan to add these and the sequential mirror turn signal, will probably install all at the same time after I get the car.
