So you paid $250 for the chrome line exterior, but now want to black out the chrome side markers? I don't get it.

yep--that is correct. I wanted the chrome line ext. for the trim around the lower air intake and rear fogs. It also gives you a chrome trunk lid handle. I can live with the chrome side maker but its not my favorite styling cue. I am crazy, so don't pay me no mind.

Wow! I love how you set up the color scheme inside and outside.. Very sophisticated interior. Maybe a better plate might be LIL RED or RED WGN

No, not my plate. Just a screen shot off their website, it's available if you want to move back to NY!

LOL! What's crazy is that I ALMOST did that exact same thing, except I didn't want the chrome on the boot (I don't know what the heck a trunk is ) All I wanted was the trim around the the lower grille and the rear fogs, but decided I'd prefer to keep my $250 and buy some H&R springs or something.
