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

Car looks great, man! My favorite are the new mirrors with the turn signals in them. They look great!

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?
