Well I'm getting ahead of myself but that lousy anodizing is plain ugly. I read the thread about having them polished and that would be an option. Hard to believe a car this expensive has the same crap aluminum mouldings like on our old Chevy SW.

Anyway, as an alternative I was thinking of painting them satin black. I have found that PPG black epoxy primer has a nice satin finish and sticks to just about anything. I see the windshield mouldings are black as is the trim around the rear glass. Anyone tried this...maybe a photo? BTW the car is white.

 

If its what I'm thinking on my R they are all black there is no aluminum or polished molding on it. Here is what it looks like not white but I always like the blacked out molding every car I have seen it on it almost makes the car look lower even though its not. Hope that helps a little.

 

Yeah, I was just looking at the STR photo thread. I'm now thinking of color codeing the bumper mlds as well and make it a STR look alike. Beautiful car. Is the rear lip spoiler a factory piece?

 

Yes this is all factory except the blacked out sidemarkers and the tinted windows. Also the rims are stock just chromed. So if you can get an STR spoiler should look just like that
