Default Black trim

I decided to black out the chrome trim around the front grill and the windows (I used black-out tape, which worked pretty well). I also painted the roof rack black to match

Next step is window tinting.

Here are some pics (after a fresh washing)

Default well...

I did it pretty quickly, so it doesn't look perfect. But if you heat up the tape with a hairdryer, you can get it to go around the curves.

Default Trim looks great Adam... But, I'd strongly encourage you to pass on the tinting....

Plus you live in Seattle! How many sunny days do we really have???

I like the way the grille turned out. Looks newish.

Default did you use trim blackout tape on the grille as well?

I very carefully prepped, primed, and painted my grille surround...and now it looks like chipped crap after 25k NE miles. Something slightly elastic would work a lot better.
