Welcome! Car looks good. Saw a black, tinted LS earlier on 301. Maybe it was you? Lol. Seems to be quite a few LS's in the Tampa area.

Simple but aggresive...love the tinted fogs

 

[MMAFIGHTER121]

did you remove the chrome or was it a sport w/o chrome?

 

[mrdrdout]

No I removed all the chrome, bumper trim f/r, grill, lic. plate assembly, and the window seals.. Now I just have to do the wheels.. Which I have been debating for a long time just because they are in perfect condition. So I'm just scared is all ha.

Thanks!

did you just paint the chrome? or replace it with Aftermarket parts?

 

[lseguy]

I just painted it myself, what i used to do, cert. automotive paint.
except I would paint cars with more flake than a bass boat and put 26's on them. Ghey. haha

I've been debating painting my chrome since i love the blacked out look.

anything tips one might offer before i dive in?

 

[mrdrdout]

how i did the trim was take it off, sand with about a 1000G, i used a flat black rattle can primer, then a single-stage gloss black paint. for the door seals i sanded and used a model car paint marker. haha. but you could never tell. and THAT is probably the best looking thing to me. the chrome was hideous, especially because the windows are the same color as the car ha.
This was before..:

 

[SPSully]

I'm thinking about de chroming my entire car except for the LSE grill now! Looks :q:q:q:qing sick with the all black!

 

[RollinLS]

LS looks sharp. Welcome.

 

[rickztahone]

+1 on blacking out the LS man. i'm going to take it to a paint shop soon to get a quote

 

[CROWDA]

a single-stage gloss black paint.

excuse my ignorance but is that a spray can? or do i need something special? and where are they available?
