So the broke basic ***** within me started the debate. "$300 to $600 to wrap all my chrome trim or $25." Needless to say the cheaper variant won. Lol Might get on it tomorrow.
Once I got started on the side window trim I realized I didn't have enough supplies. Lol So I just did the rear emblems and trim and front hood emblem today. 5 coats of dip and 3 of glossifier. I'll knock out the rest next week.
Yeah I think my next set-up will be 20x9 et35 20x10 et45. Hopefully my new Nitto Invo's will work with those. lol
Unless I'm mistaken, I run 20x9 +45 offset on my fronts, and had to add 3mm spacers to clear the struts. Then after my springs settled, I had to downside my fronts to a 235/20 tire, from...I think 245/30s. I'm shopping for 19s now, for a less harsh ride :/

My previous wheels were the same offset and size as my new. Should be fine. Hopefully! lol
Finished giving the front the Darth Vader treatment. lol Blacked out the DRL housings. My buddy is coming over tomorrow to wrap the side trim and door handles. He works at a vinyl shop. Also new wheels are ordered! And I'm getting a resonator delete in a couple of days. That's all for now! lol
Emblems and little stuff are easy enough. But that trim was going to be a PITA! lol
I ask cause I have a convertible and I kind of want to black out the one piece of trim on the side of the windshield. The piece on top of the doors I'm okay with cause it goes around the softop to the other side. The one on the windshield just goes no where lol.
Here's the new wheels! Rohana RC20's. 20x10 +45 rear 20x9 +35 front. With 275/30 rear and 245/30 front. Looks MUCH better imo! No rubbing at all either!
And here's an unedited pic. Still a bit of chrome to get rid of. lol

Looks good! I just took off my chrome side molding this morning. Used a 3M stripe off wheel to get rid of the double sided tape after using fishing line to get the molding off, made life WAY easier. Link below if you're interested.

Yours would be a lot easier! Can be done for sure. Maybe cost you $25!

Chrome strip on the side is gone and door handles are wrapped. Looks a lot better. She's coming along. Getting the resonator deleted Monday. And we'll see what else happens. lol

Looks really good, i would have been afraid of the perforations stretching around all those complex curves and making it look blotchy, but not so, did a great job installing!
