Nice! Except the wheels. ;)

Got close up of door handles? I'm trying to figure out how to do that part.
Those are my winter wheels! Really wish I could have taken the picture with my stock Bolt wheels... soon... we had an icy day on Friday but that’ll probably be the last.

I did not do the door handles... so no close up needed :)... I did do the little chrome piece above the radio though.

Ah... Must be the lighting angle. I've yet to have a problem with the piece over the radio. But several times the bowtie on the steering wheel has blinded me so I've gotta do something about that.

I like it ... but not for the looks ... I think no chrome is safer. I thought automobiles had gotten away from chrome trim in the 80’s due to its blinding effects, but it’s come back now for several years? Maybe they’re just keeping it off the front and backs of vehicles?

One place I liked the chrome (back in the 80’s) was on the wheels: A set of chrome trim rings looked good to break up all the black of the tires and wheels.

BTW: Why is that a mirror-image picture, and what’s going on with that headrest?

I have a winter aviator hat that I slide over the headrest lol. I see now why that looks weird. At the time I had only done one side of the vehicle... so those are pictures from two sides but one is flipped so the before\after is more apparent.

it has since been completed. Took way longer than I though. Almost 6-7 hours.
