What have folks done with the chrome front fender trim on LCI F10s?

VAB5 · 10-22-2021, 11:51 AM

The front fender trim on LCI F10s is awkward. It was a side repeater pre-LCI, which provides a reason for having a shiny bit there.

I'm thinking of just ordering pre-LCI side markers (not putting a bulb or making them work) just so they look like there's a purpose. Cheap ones from China are only $18 each.

What have other folks done with that bit of awkward trim?

Thanks!

you can wrap it to match your car. I wrapped mine in gloss black, as well as the chrome thin strips on the door handles.

I wrapped mine in CF which matches well with the car's mineral grey color.

I had custom painted black ones and I had the door handles wrapped.

Painted them satin black. I have a glossy black car so wanted some more texture.

Thanks for the responses so far. Keep 'em coming!

My car is space gray--not sure if wrapping in body color will just look like a tumor...
