So what's that big slot on the fender for?

I might just leave it on and plasti dip it, I don't know if it will last long tho

I dont think it has been said but you might try using a hair dryer or heat gun to loosen the bond of the bouble sided tape. Just in case that is what is stopping you.

Plastidip should last a couple years. Tape it off and spray. Worst case scenario you hafta take it off

Autodip it? Vinyl wrap? Paint? Lots of options

Vinyl wrap? No, I'm probably going to order a black fender trim and put it on

I dont know. I will most likely buy the black fender trims for $59 and put them on. I will keep the chrome ones, until I succefully put the black ones on, maybe so after that.

I dipped my emblems black and its been nearly 2 years now. Through tons of washes and never a touch up on the dip. They still look great as if I did it last weekend.

Don't dip them when its windy out. 4 coats of regular black and 2 coats of the clear coat plasti dip. Seals them up stronger and has a bit more shine than just the super matte look of straight plasti dip.

20 bucks and enough dip in the cans to do 4 coats on a wheel if I wanted. But hey if you got 60 bucks to throw away on some super small trim accent because dippin is too hard more power too you

lol too hard. That's just hilarious

Its a pretty simple piece to wrap in black o_O

If you're worried bout getting the edges perfect, then pull off the chrome piece first, wrap it, and have the edges of the vinyl wrap around the edges of the chrome piece. Then double stick it back on. Way cheaper this way.

Or just use actual high gloss spray paint and spray the chrome piece while its off the car.

EDIT: the hard part seems to be ripping the actual chrome piece off anyway. Making it black is easy. So up to you if you want to spend $60 on what could be a super cheap DIY.
