Is there a cheaper alternative to remove the chrome on the Tail light trim?

Below is a link were they have an OEM black trim. Did these ever come like this from the factory?

I like the look of the black trim, any advice welcome

Yes buddy I carbon fiber wrapped all my chrome trims and some other parts

check these out very easy to do

 

Also got rid of chrome trim in center of trunk lid. The XJR comes with black taillight trim factory

 

I have to admit the carbon fiber wrap looks pretty good, but I've never understood why people want to remove brightwork (or even interior wood) from a Jaguar. It's a Jaguar! It's supposed have chrome and wood.

 

Evan Trinh,

That looks very nice. Any carbon fiber skin will do? I will look in to doing this.

XJ8JR,
I don't dislike the chrome, To me a dark trim around the tail lights look best.

 

There are many companies who make the wrap. I go with the extra gloss to come real close to what real carbon looks like. All you need is a razor and a heat gun for the process. The material has play and you will be able to stretch it with a lil heat.

I have a bit left of the wrap I used if your in need

 

My car is a Sport so came with black trim around the rear lights, and also the windows. I managed to damage one of the trims around the rear lights whilst trying to fix it properly into the aperture, so purchased a set of chrome trims from Adamesh. I don't think you can get the black trims separately, you have to buy a new light unit. Stupid, I know !

 

Awesome, thanks.. If you still have some enough to cover the tail light trim, that would be great.

Send me a PM, and I can pay for postage and for the trim.

Thanks

 

The early non-sport models were chrome trim and later porfolio

Sport models had black trim

X358 (excluding portfolio) had red trim
