not really feeling it. Im not a fan of chrome but it looked cleaner before you blacked it out.

the vinyl that i used is made by Orafol and what i had to do was cut the vinyl in strips about 1 inch and 1/2 wide and and almost 7 feet long to do the triming for the pillars i used abou 12" by 2 feet most

Not bad. I don't like the chrome trim on our cars. Is it the pictures, or are the edges not that clean? I can't tell, but something doesn't look right to me.

I think it looks good... great job Alex. +1 for being creative. I personally like the chrome look though.

Yeah I don't care for the chrome covered up, but it looks like the mirrors are smoked out. Are they smoked, or am I seeing things? Either way, the mirrors look good.

looks pretty good both way - haven't a lot of the sedan folks removed the black taping in the pillars to reveal the clearcoat on that area? i remember seeing a few of those around

Nice job Alex, this is one project on my list. Too bad we didn't think of this when I was down in FL.

i've always preferred the chrome on our cars, depending on the color of our car

I'm jealous, I prefer the chrome-free look. Props! Was it very time consuming?

Thanks Milan..is not that hard to do it just takes some skill to do it.... also thats the first time i did it so it didnt come out perfect but it looks awsome.. it took me about 2 hours to do both sides.
