Default The de chroming of my XF s/c. Pics

Not a chrome fan. I have a tendency of eliminating it from every vehicle I own . For the XFS I changed the wheels wrapped the window trim and wrapped the rear valence in a Matt body color. The two front bumper things and the grill surround in the same Matt body color. Next month I'll send out the headlights to be split and painted. That will complete the exterior. But possibly might need to make center of grill black.

Now you need to redo your signature picture.

Looks good.

Looks good!
Black centre grille was a factory option, mine is black.
Plenty available on eBay, this one seems among the cheapest:

If you're doing all that you have to get the exhaust tips done as well.

And I've purchased the Mina splitters, but haven't put them on yet. Need to get the bumper resprayed first. Hoping they look as good as I think they will.

Search for headlight modification or scroll down a few days of posts and you'll find the thread. No one has had much luck though except to pay someone to cut them open and reseal.
