I've got a Black SE and I think it would look badass without the chrome around the windows. There's no chrome anywhere else on the car so this **** looks out of place. Anyone know if its possible to remove the chrome and if the car looks okay without it?

 

touch up paint?
heheeh
i don't know
want me to start that project too?

 

If ya want. Don't trash your car man. Don't you think it'd look better without the chrome? I've seen this tape that they sell at Pep Boys, it's called black-out tape or something like that. I'm just afraid it'd look cheesy. I guess it'd come off okay.

 

haha, i had the same thought. one day i got bored, so i ran electrical tape all around the windows the cover the chrome. looked sweet, and pretty clean too, but i took it off because i felt it would look kinda ghetto if it started to peel or somethin.

 

I'm sure you can find something at Home depot

 

I agree - it is out of place. Hope somebody has found a good way to make it black. What really looks bad is the 3" that shows between front and rear Ventshades!

damn.. i must be the only one that think it looks nice
i have a black car so the chrome contrasts it nicely, chrome license plate owuld match too

 

I'm just not a big fan of chrome on modern cars. Chrome on a classic car = looks hot to me. Chrome on a modern car = looks cheap to me.

 

i just looked on my 5th gen's door... guess what i noticed. the black trim on the b-pillar is some kinda tape... looks as if i could peel it off... hmm.. im gonna go investigate further...

 

I saw some of the black-out tape today when I was a G.I. Joes today. It looked awfully wide (about 1") so I thought it might be a little too big. Plus it said to apply between 60-80 degrees ambient temp. It's ~40 here today so no go.

 

i just checked out my mom's i30t, and it also uses that black tape for the b-pillar.. someone here has gotta have an idea of how to take that trim out.. there's gotta be more than that one visible bolt.

 

i hate that trim also, for not I put some electical tape on it and its looks great. Dosent look Ghetto, you can only notice it if your look really close at it. Dosent peal or anything.

 

We need to get rid of that chrome!!! Ken, why don't you be our guinea pig and try to take off the tape on your mom's I30 and put it on your Max?

 

why dont u just trade trims with jane, and guinea pig if 4th gen surround will 5it a 5th gen.
