Default Re: For those of us who are slow: windshield surround removal

It's good that you ordered a set of pry tools. They will come in handy for future projects but are not really necessary for this.

I never really liked the silver "racoon mask" look that is standard on all but the base models. So I had mine painted graphite gray to match the rest of the car. I did a chrome wheel exchange and added chrome covers on the strakes. Now the only silver paint is in the interior. Looks much better, in my opinion.

I completely agree with you! I wish chrysler took more of a monochromatic approach to how things were colored on this car. Though I might just leave the silver side strakes and possibly the door handles as well. I always felt that the silver surrounds were some type of reminder that the car is based on a convertible chassis---quite a few convertible cars have silver windshield surrounds. It just ruins the lines of the car, IMO, on the coupes.
