Hey everyone,
My girlfriend wants me to put real chrome metal lining around my interior plastics. I have seen these kits for sale on ebay, but i have never seen them installed. Does anyone have any picks of one of these kits installed? Please post picks so i can decide if its a good idea or not. |

Yeah, chrome overlays would be a driving hazard for glare reasons. Buy my trim pieces and paint them an aluminum or chrome color with spray paint (you'll use the additional trim as "testers" just in case you don't want to paint the trim pieces you already have and take the risk of not liking them). Paint looks so much better than overlays because it's smoother and there are no fitment issues. It's also less expensive.

If you like chrome a lot too, try chrome glossy vinyl and just go crazy in your interior. |

pull on it has hard as you can, people say you will break a tab, if you do dont worry it, the vent will still stay in place. its not biggie, just pry it out with a screwdriver or something
