Carbon fiber vinyl wrapping door moldings?

i was just thinking while looking at my maxima if it would look cool if i wrapped the door moldings. I think its a okay idea not so crazy about it but I probably wouldnt do this since i want to look like a sleeper. lol
what you guys think?

Maybe just plain black vinyl or plastidip? It would be less flashy and still look different.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the plastic bumper pieces about halfway up the doors. I circled it in red in the picture here. BTW maxfixyah what color is your car?

wait, you're talking about on the exterior of the car? If that's the case, the answer is absolutely no, just no.

I think it might look good if you had other things to go with it like blacked out rims/sidemarkers/headlights/taillights/etc. But even then only maybe. Do you have a link to the photoshopped pic?

i want to do that, but im waiting until work slows down enough to do it at my shop, im going to cut out the incaves and weld a flat peice of sheet metal and fill it with panel bond so that there is no markings and the doors are completly flush and respray, im also going to do the burger.

OP, if your looking for a sleeper look, who wouldnt you just leave them the way they are?? Anything other than completly removing them or leaving the stock is the only way to have a sleeper look.
