    Thumbs up

    I just had my done this evening by an area detailer. It looks awesome! The damn car should have come like this from the factory along with blacked out emblems and more torque. It's the one thing I didn't like about the Impala SS.

    Chrome window strips do belong on a Mercury...just not this Mercury.

    I was a teenager in the early/mid 80's when I started to really pay attention to cars. This is sorta an era when cars started to come with less and less exterior chrome. More so the monochromatic look. This is where at least in my opinion I decided that "Clean is Mean". As time went by and I continued to watch and like Ford's and other cars, I decided that at least for me the only thing that should be chrome ( if I chrome is to be used) on my cars is wheels, exhaust tips and maybe some under hood accessories.

    Thanks


    I may not be at the top (yet) but definitely on top of things.

    gdmjoe:

    You're THE MAN! Thank you for supplying the board with the excellent diagrams and application tips for the 3M Scotchcal™ striping tape products. Very nice of you to also supply the part numbers for all three tape sizes as well. I've been dying to black out the &@#%$&$!@% window trim ever since I bought the car (I never did get around to mailing you my check!). Now I can just order the tape myself and FINALLY get the car the way I've always wanted it--all bad, and ALL BLACK!

    P.S. What Lidio said!

    P.S.P.S. After a quick internet search I found the vendor with the best prices on the 3M Scotchcal striping tape: http://www.handsontools.com/
    charlie@handsontools.com was the kind person who responded to my online form request, and the person I e-mailed my order to.

    3M 73302: $14.05 EACH
    3M 72702: $18.74 EACH
    3M 77102: $26.50 EACH

    (A total of $59.29 plus shipping--a savings of about $19 over CarQuest's prices)

    Happy trimming, everybody!
