Who likes it? Well here's my opinion



Chrome Trim

Anyone know how to black it out or get rid of it? I carefully laid out black electrical tape over it just to see. My god it looks so much sportier and classier. At least on a black car. (my opinion)

It just looks so out of place, It stands out too much on my car, Im not sure if it's excessively so because Its a black car with window tints, but I hate the chrome. Nothing else is chrome

The chrome looks ok on some colors but....

I think all Maxima's would look better without it. The chrome blends in and is not as obvious on some colors, like Icelandic Pearl and Sterling Mist.

Wonder why Nissan stopped blacking out the trim on the SE's like they did on the 4th Gen?

Chrome trim

It's just another thing I've gotta polish, so it won't tarnish and pit. I'd rather do without it, cuz it's a pain in the A to keep from gettin chrome polish on the paint and still do a good job.
