I personally think it looks fantastic. Do you think it's possible to get the whole chrome thing blacked out using vinyl? I'm very tempted of getting this look if so

Yes, I've seen it done on a lot of cars in Dubai. I had one side of mine done to see if I liked it or not but I prefered the chrome accent.

I dont think thats his car is it? I think he is asking if the chrome can be covered up with vinyl to look the same as the one in the posted picture.

What's a good quality brand of vinyl tape to use?

Kev... do you remember the width of tape they used on your car?

It wasn't a tape, it was the big sheets of vinyl they use to wrap cars here. they have tons of different shades of each color so they made an exact match. They just cut a strip, applied it and trimmed it down.

I've seen other guys use plain 'ol black electrical tape, I'm not sure how long it would last but the results (in pictures) was quite good. I think that's what Wes used to black out the chrome around his windows.
