I was looking for gunmetal or dark gray to go on the black, but selection is very limited. Since chrome was available local, I wanted to see SOMETHING on there. I think I like it, it fits with the wheels. I told my 17 y/o son about it....he said gay.....then he came out to the garage and saw it....now he says I must keep it.

Never really thought I'd like it, but when I picked up the moldings from the paint shop, I snagged a sample to check it out.....its temp stuck on there now.....I will cut them exact......I think it works.

I also agree that the wheel trim/combo came out very nice. I think the trim should go along the doors as well, but that's just me.

EDIT: NM, I thought you had filled in the doors, but you haven't. It'll come out looking really good!

Taking a 2nd look, it's not too bad. I don't think many cars could get away with it and look good though.

Joe, as much as i LOVE your car, IMO black cars, and dark color cars could not get away with it. (Sorry to use your car as an example) :)

Looks frigggen FANTASTIC on the red car with the matching crome lipped rims!

FANTASTIC.

Thanks....I cant wait to get my 10" rears with a bigger lip....still on B/O. I wanted something different, bumpers and sides are common, but no one has these wheels on a MK3, the moldings coordinated really makes it different.

Agreed....without the wheels, I wouldn't have tried.

FANTASTIC.

That's what I'm saying.

I wouldn't try it on my car.
