Small Details, Big Difference
So i decided to do a partial black out of my chrome trim and door handles, had this idea for a while, saw the trim like this on a benz (think it was an s500) and thought it looked cool. Next is tinting my fogs orange, and ill most likely be removing my lip for winter. If anyone has stock suspension for sale and they're willing to ship to canada please let me know.

Edit: Ontario people, if you're looking for black out tape Parts Source has the Trimbrite Blackout Tape on the shelf for 6$

The blacked out portions look good!

'03 tails with the clear part slightly tinted would look awesome on your car.

Could I use this tape for the wing on my grill? That way if I don't like it I can take it off.

id say yes, you'd just have to take your time putting it on to avoid air bubbles

I was in the process of blacking out all my chrome trim.

Nice to see the door handles done...because I was "fifty-fifty" on that.

Props!

DFoster0 - took about 30 min to do both sides and door handles, nothing complicated at all, i just took my time and ran my finger along the tape as i was putting it on to avoid air bubbles. You then take a razor and cut off the access tape. After that i took a pencil and pushed in and flattened the tape that was in the little crevices

piro91 - its good tape, its the same kind many people have used on these board, except they bought it off amazon.com

I don't care for the chrome trim either, maybe I should do this on my ABP.
