2012 Chrome Hatch trim. Paint?
Anyone with a 2012 3 door, decided to paint that gawd awful chrome piece on their hatch??
Im thinking of having it painted to match (Absolutely red). OK. I painted it!!

Thought about it before,but decided not too.
Paint it (without sanding it first),if you like the look remove the paint,then sand prep and paint it again... |

It is probably just me ... but I don't like the look of chrome. This is why I like vehicles like the Honda Civic (I know .. did I really just admit that). It is for this reason that I don't like most of the new vehicles being produced these days.
But don't get me wrong .. I love my Yaris. Fortunately there is no chrome on my Yaris. |

I must say that I actually like the chrome look. I must be in the minority

Unless I want to get pulled over. This is my DD, I drive 60 miles round trip daily, too many CHPs around. Its bad enough the GTR has no front plates. (refused to let the dealer drill the bumper of a $100,000 car)

California law also allows you to drive 6 months without plates. Sacramento is so broke, they take forever, so the law was changed to 6 months. Many people here wait the full 6 months, so it looks like its still a new car!! Steve Jobs never wanted plates on his car, so he returned his lease at 6 months!!

That looks so much better. Very nice, indeed. It would be great if you could find some decent tails that actually looked like they were made for the car! How about rebadging with a VITZ nameplate?
