[QUOTE="andrewk, post: 408981, member: 3188"] For the black andonized look, you can get it painted hyper black color. Will look really nice and tapes won't give you that effect. But be warned - once you paint on chrome, you can't go back. At least tape you still can peel off if you wanna go back to the chrome look. Another option to consider is to use carbon fiber design tape rather than flat black tape. Will certainly look unique if you don't mind the "faux" CF look. Not sure how much an accessory shop will charge for tape, but to paint your trims, you're looking at around RM400 - 500.
