[anthony]

so, as im going to be finishing up my car... im thinking about the fender trims, aroudn the wheel.. i want to take them out,,, althoguh i love them.. i just think its nicer without them... another is the drip rails i knwo there sopposed to be chrome... witch mine are all dented so i need new ones,,, where can i find them... now when i do get them i dont no if i shoudl chrome it or paitn them black.. loook how beautiufl this true black roadrunner looks


but if i do that, i gotta do the same for the front windeseild border, (paint it all black) so its either both chromed or both black....... i want my windsheild border chrome but the drip rails black...... i dotn no what to do!!!!!


this is the chromed drip rails,(normall)


What should i do?

if yours are beat up, i'd say paint them...mine are nice, but i've even considered shaving the drip rails off...kind of just a trough for rust to start in imo...however, i believe our cars should have a bit of chrome to separate ourselves from the modern plastic machines you constantly see today, who if there is chrome - it's plastic

I like the clean look of having them the same as the body color, but that does depend on the color. Black looks good either way. Shaved would be neat looking but could be a pain in the rain .

Not to hijack but is there a difference between the drip rails form a vinyl topped car opposed to a non vinyl one?

I want to know too, so experts any answers?

The drip rail moldings are the same whether it's a vinyl top car or not. Only the moldings around the rear of the vinyl top are unique to cars that have them...

I'd polish 'em out, fill in the dings with a resin filler, then use this stuff

and then coat it with the candy black for a black chrome finish that's the best of both worlds. ..
