blackout

thant link is great tutorial for removing the parts
i ws going to go with the plastidip but decided to go with a more permanent solution


or you can just sand with 120grit automotive sand paper found at autozone
make sure you get all the edges and make sure the chrome is scuffed to the point where it looks dull
then wash with soap and water and let dry after you spray on plastic primer and let it dry you then go ahead an paint it the color of choice
i went with flat black

Aztec I like the coil overs. Haven't have the chance to really put them to the test on some curvy roads yet. And VJ I've already put up a few sound clips on it.here's one of them. There's one more on there under my videos.

Thanks very much! I originally hoped to score a white roof, but now that I have the black one, I'm glad I got it (no offense to anyone with white!).

The grill trim, bonnet scoop and wheels look sweet in black. Are you going to change the head and tail light trim as well?

The JCW kit on a White Silver Camden looks sooo sweet. Looks even better when it's all white. (Our dealer has one)
