Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has replaced their chrome trims (around the side windows) with black (Shadow line) ones?
Is it difficult to remove the original ones? I was thinking of doing it by myself.
Any inputs are welcome!

Umm first no its not.. next.. The chrome trim goes well with a car that may hae a chrome or polished lip to give it an accent.. a shadow trim is more sporty and is a more subtle look.. which ever you choose is best

I'm Ok with the chrome, but on cars (like mine) with tinted windows and dark paint the chrome just sticks out too much. My thoughts anyhow.
Any suggestions on the disassembly part?
