No, I think he meant the wrap. Or he can try the blackout chrome tape from PepBoy.

Look at my new/upcoming mods thread and you'll see how it looks with black vinyl...might look weird on the non AMG bumper but at least black vinyl is reversible...

Or look at andy's brand-new pipes thread page 5 or 6...

Why mod it if you're going to sell it within a year? You won't get your money back that you have spent on the car. That goes for all of us but we plan to have our cars longer than a year?
just curious
