Show me your blackouts!!!!

I have an '02 MCS, pure silver w/ black roof and mirrors, and black bonnet stripes. I'm thinking of blacking out most of the chrome on the car. I want to see those of you with blacked out chrome, especially those of you with out black cars, and more importantly, those of you who have blacked out the chrome strip around the headlights. flaunt 'em if you got 'em!

99% dechromed - only parts remaining that have chrome is exhaust tips

I did have checkmate decals on awhile back but decided to go for a cleaner look.

DOPAMINE's car is totally dope!! Man that's sweet. All I have is the front badge and the door handles, but that CF bonnet is to die for!!
Hell, I was going to get a Lumma bumper, but maybe I should just go for the CF.
Where'd you get yours, Dopamine?

Dood--you've got serious over-chromage! That's a little more than "some chrome". What are you waiting for?

I probably had my checkmate decals on then. Since then, I've removed them.

Golden Child,
Your side repeaters came out nice! I've seen them posted somewhere else, but they look really clean.

Here's mine.





I've also blacked out the beltline, color matched my aero grill, and removed the chrome Cooper S emblem off the rear.

1/2" 3m stripping tape for the molding(sp?).
tinted film for the arch side markers (corblmy).
Duplicolor trim paint for the side vents.
smoked lenses for the side vents (outmotoring)

I think that's all I've got so far.

Oh yeah, Aero grills.

Wow, ministupidfun, the car is absolutely sick looking!!! that's awesome!! Where did all you find the black out pieces to cover the gas caps, door handles, and especially the chrome headlight rings?? The only thing I can seem to find is the tape that goes on the chrome strip around the car, right under the windows.

Here's me. I hopes my pics work on here. The second 2 were done too late at night to really look good, and the first has my factory wheels, but you get the idea.
