Should I Chrome It?

[NDU19E]

Guys,

I got an 07 euro luxury with the wood grane.

I am thinking of chroming it or painting it a colour..

I got beige interior with white pearl paint in colour.

Need your thoughts guys?? I cant do this on my own! lol lmao

Thanks

Dont chrome it, its possible it might end up looking tacky. Go for a neutral colour. Or even get it trimmed in the Beige to match. Or painted in a similar beige.

You can get OEM parts with fake carbon fibre look (which wouldn't look good with the beige interior), or go with satin silver. I wouldn't go with bright chrome, it would look tacky, and the reflections while driving would drive me nuts. Dark chrome would probably look odd with that colour.

Or you could paint the wood trim pearl white to match the exterior.

Piano black would look mint.

Piano black?? hmmmmm :)

nahh i dun want carbon and stock stuff - i want somthing different :)

any other ideas?

[integral90]

Just a nice, clean looking silver like a brushed aluminium would look really nice. You don't want it very reflective even to sunlight as that would making driving a pain

piano gloss black dayumm !!!!!

Yeh i reckon piano black ftw...Thats what im doing my EG plastics after i get the rest trimmed in black suede and leather.

[NDU19E]

yeh depends what you do in chrome but..

maybe little things... well see what happens..

all i know is that im sick of the woodgrain lol

[VTi_b0i]

lol yeahh its too old man style :p
ever plan to get new shoes? haha

Change it mate, the lux wood grain looks shite.
I got the silver trim kit when I had the CL9 base, was great. It comes stock on the CU2 now.

piano black! simple, classy and not tacky like chrome.
it'll look nice with both the white car and the beige interior.


piano black FTW!!

[felixd]

if u go chrome, it will glare too much and it will be annoying and not good for your eyes, summer is coming up remember, go carbon

[NDU19E]

lmao lol summer?? i have 5% tints with 30 on front window lol

yeah chrome is what i am after.. i think im heading towards the same colour interior beige with black with high gloss on it.. should look mint..

im also gettin a double din put in so im going to be painting that peice aswell,..




i have looked around and cant find any info on a double din set up sombody has done????? any people know of a good thread with this info?

Thanks

sorry for jackin ur topic, but i'm just curious where can u paint ur interior trim? i've got 06euro satnav, i'm looking to do the carbon fibre overlay around my airvent downward to my satnav area[button area]

can anyone here suggest?

[FastFwd]

as someone else has said i think you can actually get this as a factory option and buy these parts from honda in the carbon fibre look.

+1 for piano black - it'll look ace! I remember when the chrome mobile phone craze was going full tilt years ago all these places were popping up who could chrome plastic - are they still around and could they do "black chrome"?

when I was buying my euro I really hoped the white luxnav ones would have black interior! Now a white euro with black leather interior and some black CR Kai's would look ace.

I wouldn't chrome it, would look really tacky, that's just too much chrome.... I reckon do a nice neutral colour that will blend nicely with your interior... something like the beige in your leather?

I wouldn't go black either, unless you can get a similar matte finish to the top part of your dash i think it will contrast way to much and clash with the rest of your interior....

[VTi_b0i]

yes im digging up old threads haha
Just noticed ur car on carsales... im looking to get one too, the only thing turning me off white is the wood grain but to be honest its growing on me...

[demons21]

I got a Black 06 Lux, and it has the Cream interior with Wood grain. I don't really think any other colour would do it justice.. But If I had a gun to my head I would have to pick the Carbon Fibre look!!

[VTi_b0i]

yeahh carbon on a black euro would work, not on a white one tho... IMO its just too many different colours/ styles packed in...
