DIY: No more chrome on Air vents!

Cost, style, who knows but there was a time when chrome all but disappeared from cars.

 

The kit now includes a decal for the 4WD knob.

 

How many sq ft of vinyl did you need?

 

@cubfan74 I’m by no means a vinyl expert but it took me approximately 3x3ft I ordered 6x6 to be safe
Edit: sorry I was referring to doing the door inserts and all the accent trim pieces. Not sure if my original post answers that for you.

 

The jihad against chrome is unreal. I might get a blackout badge overlay kit for the exterior but either way I dont think the chrome badge look that bad on white.

The only really ugly chrome on these trucks are the chrome bumpers and all the dumb chrome bits on Limiteds, everything else is generally tasteful.

 

Mirror signals too

 

I love my chrome trim, but I grew with Harley Davidson motorcycles.

 

Anyone tried these out? https://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-2019-...967?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c10#viTabs_0
They look solid, especially for only $12.99.

 

That does answer my questions. Thanks!

 

Sorry to hear it but thanks for the DIY trick!!

 

Took a page out of @mesojdm book with the black Multicam. Decided to hydrodip it instead of vinyl wrap since my wrapping skills aren’t the greatest. Did manage to wrap the chrome trim in orange vinyl for some contrast.

 

The dip looks great

 

Thanks!
And thanks for the inspiration

 

@MESO what did you mean by chrome is like kryptonite, don’t sand? I don’t have access to a sand blaster and planned on roughing up with the red/maroon pad then a coat of adhesion promoter then top coat

 

Seeing this is motivation to get rid of that damn chrome finally.. maybe I'll have time Wednesday..

 

I’m with Meso on this one. Not much of a chrome fan

 

Oh yeah, they are chrome. Never noticed.

 

Where'd you get that steering wheel logo?

How was the center cup holder chrome piece removed?
