Default Blackout!!

Got my wheels powder coated in satin black, added black OE Lexus/Toyota lug nuts, and blacked out the chrome trim. Car looks much newer and more sleek! Very happy with the results!

Damn...I'm thinking about doing this.

Did you blackout the door/bumper chrome moulding? Also what did you use to blackout the chrome around the windows?

I used blackout tape made by a company called trimbrite. You can get it on amazon for like $4.00 a roll. It looks so good you'd think it was stock!

Blackout /murda look will never go out...it's been in since the muscle car days. Takes a brave soul to repeat it through the ages. I always can dig the "murda'd out" look done well.
