Chrome trim - your opinion needed - headlight/tail lights
My wife got side swiped on the highway in my 2010 with 6k miles on it. "Highly Unfortunate" is one way to classify it without using EXPLETIVES..
Anyway - it raises a question and I wanted to hear you opinion. I have wanted to paint or wrap the chrome around the headlights & tail lights for a while (already did the trim around the grill with vinyl (actually Lyle wrapped it)). Mini is Red, and I will be matching chrome to the body color.
So here is the question - IF you were going to wrap the trim around the lights, do you do Front And Back? I had been considering doing ONLY teh back tail light chrome but wanted to know - would it look weird if I only did the back?
As the car is getting bodywork from the @#$$%*& accident, its FREE for me to get the trim painted.
Just curious as to your opinion as to doing one set only.. Thanks!!

I would want ALL of my chrome gone. See ya! I want it all blacked out, head lights, tail lights, grille surround, door handles, etc. I dont think it would look "weird" if you just had the tail lights blacked out, but it might looked unfinished. But it makes sense that it is a safety precaution to the unfortunate event of the accident.

First of all sorry about your car and I hope your wife is OK and doing well. I have blacked out the headlight and taillight rings on my mini and it looks good. Doing both will really help the car stand out. You should go for it I think, but do what will really make you happy in the end. Good luck.
