Chrome Exterior Trim
Im not a fan of the chrome trim. Starting with the strip in the rear that spans the tailgate and the tail lights. What is the best way to "delete" it. Car is black, so considering wrapping it in black vinyl but not sure that is the best option. I see a few threads discussing girll options all of which seem complicated. While we are on the topic, is there a company that sells black badges (E450, 4Matic, and the star)? Or is the only option to have a body shop remove them?

Yes, you are correct that there is a chrome strip just above the tail lights and around the front grille that do not get blacked out in the night package. I forgot about those. The night package does black mor than just around the door windows. There are strips of chrome beneath the door sills and on the lower parts of the front and back that get black chrome. I believe the E53 has a second night package that deletes all chrome so there is that option 😉.
