Vinyl wraps
#18
With what you have tried, I would just have it wrapped in black. Here is a link to the parts.

Not sure if Gxxr is willing to venture into replacement and looks like the 2 pics here are upper and lower chrome trim damaged.

I was also thinking about replacement, but for the rear door trim chrome, emblems front and rear, and front grill, I bet it would be $500-$800 at least....
acrad the ad is deceiving on that part, it says new on the quick item description, but then it says nicely used in the long description...
I am looking at used ones and new.... not many used parts for these rigs for sure...
I wonder how black chrome vinyl wrap would look, and I was even looking at Tec badges also... just not sure where to go from here

Yeah.. that ad is deceptive
The front grille is around $285... and the grill surround is around $150

Is plastic dip an option? It’s cheap and you can remove if
you don’t like or it makes them look worst.

Yeah, I know what you mean, and I could get over it if it the paint and the car wasn’t so nice overall....it is just weird to me that it happened on what looks like a car that was very lovingly maintained and cleaned.
I just got a quote for $300 for vinyl and labor to vinyl wrap all the chrome on the entire car, front and back and sides.
I will take good pics of before and after if I go that way.
Also, Jacket, do you see any issues running mid-grade (87) or regular (85)octane fuel in your GX here at a mile high and above because of the reduced effective compression?

Yeah, I thought about it, but with all the rocks on the road here in Colorado, I have seen some plasti dipped stuff that looks pretty bad very soon after application...

I had similar a situation and I used meguiars 105/205 compound/polish and it came out great no spots or dullness anymore. I started with the door trim and applied it everywhere.

Chrome Delete / Vinyl Wrap / Plasti Dip
Let's see those pictures? I currently drive a 14' GX460 that is Knights Armour Pearl. Not sure if gloss black, matte or some other color would look best to cover the chrome with. IMO I think the chrome makes the car look nice, but obviously understand why people remove it as well....so on to the photos!

Has anyone done vinyl wrap on the front bumper!
Looking for pics if anyone has done any black vinyl wrap on the front of their GX?
Can anyone do a photoshop on this one?
