Murdered-out look

Chrome Delete

Wrap every chrome strip, badge, mirror, and trim piece in matte or gloss black for the cleanest blacked-out look โ€” without rattle-cans, paint, or compromise.

Chrome delete swaps every chrome accent on your car for matte, satin, or gloss black vinyl. Done right, it looks like the trim came from the factory that way. Done wrong, it bubbles, peels, and shows tape lines within months. Our installers work panel-by-panel with proper film and heat technique.

What we delete

  • Window trim and beltline strips (the most common chrome delete)
  • Grille surrounds and front lower trim
  • Door handles, mirror caps, mirror stalks
  • Badges and emblems (front, rear, side fenders)
  • Exhaust tips (high-temp film)

Finishes

Gloss black, satin black, matte black, or carbon-fiber pattern. We bring physical samples to the consult.

Pricing: Window-trim chrome delete from $249. Full chrome delete (trim + grille + badges + mirrors) from $399. Partial selections priced individually.

Common questions

Should I paint or wrap?

Wrap โ€” it's reversible, doesn't compromise factory finish, and matches more cleanly than paint on textured trim.

How long does it take?

Most full chrome deletes are 1 day.

Will it lift over time?

Not when installed properly. We knife-cut into seams, heat-set every edge, and use 3M films rated for 5+ years.

Can I do just the window trim?

Yes โ€” that's our most common partial delete. About 2โ€“3 hours.
