Edit:

I lined mine up so that the front and rear doors strips are even and then cut the front door strip so that it's the same angle as the mirror base.

I guess so.

I also agree that Toyota should have installed the chrome on the Camry in the first place. Except for maybe the SE's.

Toyota can learn from the Germans again here. Particularly BMWs...

Basically back in the days of the E46 and E39, if your car had no Sport Package, you got the chrome around the windows.

If it did, then you got a pearl black chrome around your windows. Very stealthy looking.

To illustrate the point...here is a 2003 E39 540i M-Sport. Notice the black chrome trim around the windows; yet still shiny:

And now, here's a non-sport E39. Note the chrome trim surrounding the windows:

Yummie.

Trd did you chrome your handles too?

johnnyzee · 10-24-2007, 09:26 PM

the rims / chrome look works for your cam. not a huge fan of the extra chrome but i will say it looks good, clean, and not "tacky". you did a fine job i must say!

No. They are only covers. I didn't want to change the handles. This way I can easily change my mind. I also used covers over the driver side door lock so not of the lock cylinders are exposed on my car. I never use them anyways.
