    REMOVE IT! Looks so much better without...

    I could show my car, but its a VN so it probably wont help much. It looks alot cleaner without the strip though.

    I reckon get rid of the black and keep the chrome, or maybe you need to get a different chrome bit.... either way, get rid of the black strip

    But wait... There's more!!


    But that's not all!!!

    Nahh man looks MUCH smoother without the strips all together. The only reason people just paint them is because they are either too lazy to remove the strips, the paint is different under the strips, or they cant remove the strips, or they just dont care.

    And I had more to add to this thread...which is obviously more than you have to add. Keep the thread on topic mate and maybe say something worth saying next time although judging on your previous efforts, that might be a little difficult

    that looks sweet hey...cheers for the chop, lol yeh would look better lowered hey thats on the 2 do list.

    main concern is that the paint mite come off wid the foam tape. coz i did it on my vn and i started pulling paint of and that was being careful.

    is there much chance of the paint coming off on the newer cars?

    cheers for you input people

    i doubt the paint will come off on these new cars, there is the clear coat so that would mostly protect it

    It should be gone yesterday! Also I think you should paint the black strip along the bottom of your car white.
