Chrome

Just a FYI....That 1/8" fake chrome with the 3m tape fits the door handles perfect. Also fits perfect on that middle strip around the A in the grill. I also added the chrome around the front spoiler, between the front license plate, and along the front fender where the front spoiler meets. Its really easy to do and it really looks sharp with the other grill mods.

Looks like you cut that door edge guard on your lower grill a little too short :-p
other then that i like the chrome on the a-spec lip but the one from the lower grill to the LP is a bit much IMO...

Its just a roll of 1/8" chrome molding. Right by those door edges at the auto store. I think it was like $14 for like 20 feet. It fits all those gaps/ bodylines PERFECTLY!!

which 3m double sided tape did you buy and from where? Also did you just cut the tape 1/8 inch thick and just stick in there?

I just bought the 1/8" strip of chrome... it comes in a roll... the tape is already attached... This was from pep boys, but im sure autozone or murrays or any car parts place sells this...just trim to the length you want... its really easy and if you mess up, you just pull it off.

Those chrome inserts look good with the SSM. When i had them on my NBP, it looked kinda funny, so i took em off.
