I'm looking to update my car a bit. The itch to upgrade it growing stronger, but we just bought the wife a new Murano SL, so I have to wait a bit longer. I just replaced the suspension ad tightened everything up, so she rides, drives, and sounds like a new car, but I want to improve the look a little.

Has anyone wrapped the chrome trim around the doors and windows? Anyone know where I can pick up black door handles? (car is black, by the way)

Thanks for the help!

So I didn't get any responses, which lead me to believe nobody cared to de-chrome our old ES models. So I did it. Black gloss vinyl on window trim and new black door handles. Next up, I'm pulling the tail lights, baking them so I can remove the main clear cover, and then I'm deleting (black vinyl) the stupid silver/chrome accent around the inside of the light.

Here are some pictures!

I personally prefer the look of the chrome trim on the 4ES. It gives it that luxury look.

I do hate the chrome in the tail lights with that euro look. Please swap them for 2005-06 lights, they look much better.

chrome isn't for everyone but for me, chrome door handles are one of the things that separate that ES from the Camry, plus I like the look of chrome so I would keep it. However, you did a really good job wrapping it I tried wrapping my door handles and it's harder than it looks lol
