Trunk Chrome

[TSS1]

Your photos just solidified my color choice of Silver. Great mod. I would be interested in how the shrink wrapping holds up. I like the idea, but would likely just go with solid black myself.

TSS,
From an ease of maint. Sliver is it. If you dont need paint work.

Other than peeling I think the stuff is extremely durable and give its a lease I surely would expect 3yrs. If not I have more.

Where in Mich are ya ?

I agree completely on silver being the easiest color to keep clean. Plus, it tones down chrome the best IMO. I am not a fan of all the chrome parts these days. My current 07 Escalade is silver, and that has far too much chrome "bling" for me. The silver really subdues it all.

I live in East Lansing, my office is in downtown Lansing.

I hear ya on all the chrome.
Did you notice the dechrome of window trim ? I left the sills though.

Especially the black window trim.

I had not noticed that , it looks great. I have to admit, I am still becoming familiar with all the SHO cues and nuances. I have not seen many on the road, and therefore my experience is limited to my test drives and the array of articles and photos I have been reviewing. I am a detail guy, so if I had a little more time with an SHO in person, I am sure I would have noticed the window trim dechroming. One thing I would like to do is body color the SHO fender vents. I have never been a fan of vents and especially dislike the gaudy Escalade vents. The SHO vents aren't bad, but I still think body colored would be better.

How'd you decrhome the window trim?

 

[SHO1]

Not bad, I could maybe go for that.

I also used a tape ( flat matte blk ) withOUT removing trim...I couldn't quite figure out how to pull trim but would like to and redo.

Could you link up what kind of tape? I may want to do this on mine...

I got the carbon fiber here:

I had the matte black but they carry it too

First look I thought everything was black and I liked it, then I saw the bs carbon fiber. I like what you did with the sho badge, but it's a little off center.

Kirk,
She looks sweet.....
How long does it take and how much would you charge me to do mine if I made the trip down...
Mine is black so I would like it blacked out....
