I've been wondering about blacking out the chrome trim around the windows. Has anyone done this? Does anyone have a picture without the chrome window trim? Thanks.

 

Yes, its been done before. I fellow done in Texas I believe, not sure. He did it with vinyl, didn't look too bad. If you search in the photo gallery, you'll find it.

Pics are gone though Maybe someone saved them. He's the only person I know of who did it.

 

an old trick i used to do and i know some of these honda guys on here have done it before. electrical tape. i did it on an old honda and if done right. you cant tell the difference...if you're planning on turning it into a show car i dont suggest this but daily drivers will look fine. i had to do mine about once a year and nobody ever once noticed it was just tape. and with goo gone you're not hurting the chrome when you take it off. just my

 

Is there any way to paint it as a black chrome? Or replace it with black chrome pieces?

 

You could paint it, but I would have a paint shop look at it. There is a lot of prep work that would need to be done to it to accept paint. Painting it as is would be a no-no. It'll chip very easily.

 

They make chrome trim cover up tape. I've seen this stuff at the local auto stores. It looks like black tape but with a satin-like finish. I tried it out and looks good.
