yes, sorry lol... It was kinda hard to keep them clean and the mustang wasn't a DD. when dust got on them they didn't shine. after awhile they started flaking for no reason. With abunch of tireshine on them they looked amazing. But I wish I woulda just kept the black bulletts w/polished lips I had on it.

only 03-04 cobras had the mirrors and flat sideskirts, but i was guessing it was like a 99 cobra or something. ether way it looks great even for a mustang.

i was geting ready to ask the same question about black chrome wheels.
i have some chrome zr1's now and im very tired of them(on the car when i got it aroud 5 years ago) and i seen dupliclor came out with a black chrome wheel coating kit.

it takes regular chrome wheels and makes them black chrome.
its a 2 step kit the black chrome part is a translucent coating and part 2 is a clear.

any one use it?
its called shadow.

From what I understand there is a couple different types of black chrome. One is a real chrome with copper, nickel, and chrome. The other is a metallic coating that is cooked on that gives the appearance of black chrome. It looks good but it can chip like powder coat.
There is a shop near me that does color chrome in almost any color. It can be applied on top of existing chrome. It is a coating though and not real chrome.
