Default Silver Trim

Has anyone removed the silver windshield trim or door handles? I like the all black look better and may change mine to the stock black. Thanks.

Someone removed them to have them chromed and posted removal directions. I don't think you have to take the door panel off.

I saw a black limited on the lot today and the window surround was black. Looked very good.
Personally, I don't like the silver surround, but I don't hate it either.

I really need to learn to use photoshop. With a little work I could recolor the surround aero blue to see how it would look.

There are several places to get the chrome overlays for the windshield, do a search.

I offer a synthetic CF overlay in 4 colors, black, silver, red and blue. Cost is $175. You would have to send them to me. The finish is extremely durable and will last as long as the exterior paint.

Are you sure it was a limited...the reason I ask is because the base models don't have the brushed aluminum window surround.

No. I could have misremembered (is that a real word?) But it did look good.
