Thanks, yeah I didnt like the way the provided black trim looked. The chrome classes it up a little bit 

does look nice - the black rubber trim doesn't sit perfectly and the edge doesn't keep a nice straight line. i'm impressed you got the door trim to go around the sharp front corner, did you use heat?

Yes, that was the tricky part. Just used a heat gun to make it more pliable. 

Excellent idea with the chrome door trim for the covers. Easy, simple, looks so much better!

And you have to look hard to see where the 2 ends meet. Nice job!

Installed my Watanabe center caps. Makes the wheels look more "finished"

It makes these cheap headlight covers look....well...less cheap

This end result looks great. Ever thought of making more;)

those covers do look nice. how are they attached to the car? i would like to use some but i dont want to drill any holes.

the kit i got provides two options:  some double-stick tape and wide clips (like hazmatt shows) or smaller clips with sheet metal screws. i started with the stick-on system and mine didn't stick - the covers aren't a perfect fit (slight warp) so they put constant, light pressure on the adhesive which pulled them off. i then went to the drill-in method and they've been fine since. i am considering doing the door-trim trick now though, as the brightwork would look nice on my dark green paint.

Thanks! They are really easy to do. Just buy the cheap headlight covers, throw away supplied black trim, buy chrome door edge trim from auto store and install!

Yea like Rossiz says, they are 3 tabs that use double sided tape to attach them to the light bucket. I haven't had any issues with them coming off yet.
