I wonder who's car is in the pics. The window trim was taken off and sanded and then painted. I think the same was done on the door handles(did not actually see). If overlays were available when I 1st got the car. I would have went the overlay route. And probably saved myself some $$$.
The car should have come in blackout/shadowline from the factory. Or should have been an option from the factory.
Vinyl overlays is a good option... my original idea was to powder coat, but after removal I realized that is not an option (molded plastic underneath the aluminum)... once I realized that I had no choice but to paint. To answer previous question "can you driver with trim off" - no, I would not suggest you drive. The handles were taken off for paint too, but with an experienced painter it isn’t necessary. Here are some more pics… I have others, but haven’t downloaded yet. Will post later if anyone is interested.
Funny, I saw this pic prior to buying my G and the day after I picked it up (last Friday) I had an estimate on painting the trim and handles. Herb's in Frisco quoted $500.00 for the job. I too think it looks great on black.
