What method did you use? Any tips???
[QUOTE=Easy2speed;2465233]I saw this thread and had to do it.
I love a free mod. So, I did mine a few days ago. I definitely think it looks better on any color car. My red looks ten times better. The black SC300 will be my next mini-project.

I used electrical tape. But I am going to redo the bottom portion because I messed up a piece and you can see the chrome through now.

I painted mine black and it looks okay, but is there a way to return the chrome back? Can you pop the pieces out?
Do they make chrome tape?
