Old thread, same question.

I called 6 different Pep Boys... they all carried the item, but all were out of stock- Except one location

It's cheap- only about $6 or so. I'm gona do this tommorrow, and probably post pics tommorrow night or sometime later this week if I get a chance.

Midterms r killing me... so the pics might be delayed a bit.

Damn BLK, you are quick! I am still wondering if it looks ghetto close up like electric tape, or it looks good. I will let you do it, then do mine in a couple of weeks. Too bad I got stock chrome wheels, so it doens't look so bad.

Whats wrong with all you anti-chrome liners! The chrome lining gives the car some definition.
