Beltline ... Tailights ...BlackED out

Seeing as how this afternoon was beautiful, I felt it was time to attempt to black out the chrome beltline and also the tail lights.

First came the beltline. VERY easy DIY mod.
I purchased 3M Schotchcal Stripe Tape 72793 Low Gloss Black 1/2x150 tape via eBay.

The results....



Not too shabby... On came the Lamin-x Smoke Tail Lamp Film...


(with flash)


(no flash)

and now some more photos...










All and all two very simple mods that add alot of black out to your MINI!

Looks good Marco. A little more Dark Silver, beltline, tail light sweetness.
