Im getting black. I liked something about the red but it may have been a bit much. So black it is. Pics to follow upon installation.

Get the overlays. Cheaper than painting, you can do it urself in a few minutes, and its removable. Wait til you see em on mine.

is he going to remove the strips to paint them? then you run into the same risks deus was trying to avoid.

When you guys talk about vinyl overlays would it go all over the strips or only as a strip on top reveling the sides in chrome? I think to do it properly the strips would have to be removed unles they could be pushed in there with a lil' chizler.

Xoomer: Good question. The strips will go down the sides. That can easily be done with credit card

It will work. There is a tool I use called lil chisler that can be used to push vinyl into tight places but in this case I think credit card will suffice.

deus i demand pictures. I'm wondering if bat can do an overlay that will give a somewhat black pearl effect on the chrome strips? do you guys think that would become too costly?
