Blacked out my window chrome
Did it myself. Did it dry, definitely takes a steady hand and lots of holding of the breath. Im happy with the results. Definitely got the results I was looking for. Total cost: $40.

Is that a vinyl wrap? Are you doing similar with the rear lip spoiler, etc?

Looks like you did a nice job. The glossy finish seems to blend with the rest of the finishes on the car very well.

Thanks, yeah used gloss black vinyl. I havent decided about the front and back yet. I may eventually try it since i can easily remove it if I dont like it.

Very nice. That front end is so sexy. Please advise of where you found the vinyl! The installation looks very clean!

Thanks. You can just buy the vinyl at any sign shop by the foot. It comes on a roll.

Great job. Looks 10 times better in my opinion.

How hard was it to trim against the rubber trim part that is on the window side it seems like there is no room to cut without hitting the rubber.
