You can paint it or apply 3m black out tape made for chrome trim.

scuff it and paint would be my recommendation. Not hard to do yourself.

and about the scuffing, to tedious and with tape i can always remove if eer need be. good idea though, that was the first on my mind.

Don't use the black out chrome trim tape. Already tried it and it is not even possible to contour it to the lines of the car. Vinyl is the only way to go. 2.5tsoarer did my black out chrome trim and he can pre cut you some for the car. Just send him a PM and he will get back to you as soon as he can.

I would not paint it either just in case you ever want to see the chrome trim again. Here is a link to some pics of my vinyl trim in one of my threads (1st page)

Also check the link in my signature (look at the last like 3 to 4 pages).
