I thought this thread was gonna be on the emblems... LOL! As 73AbodEE pointed out.. ever so diligently.. Those chrome bands you'all are looking at, might surprise all of you to find out there from the local Auto Zone/Advanced Auto Parts. It's your basic "plastic 1/8" peel and stick trim", plus a small piece of aluminum tape where the meet in the middle at the bottom. It comes in rolls of 18' or 20'. Took about 3 or 4 tries to get it right on the first inlet. You have to make sure its flexible and a warm day. If you rub the outside as you form it around the curve till the plastic gets warm from your finger (friction) it will bend into a nice soft curve. Trying to get the stuff to do 90 deg bend doesn't work very well. Dry fit it as you go, pull the tape off about 3" to 4" at a time. When you meet the two ends (I did it at the center of the bottom of the inlet) make sure you have a very sharp razor blade, overlap and cut both at the same time. Do a rough measurement of what the circumfrance of each of the inlets are if I remember correctly they are approx 25" so I would cut a piece about 27" to 28", then work it.. Make sure the stuff you get has the 3M sticky tape, it seems to work the best.. Oh and another tip (for 73AbodEE) you can use a hand held hairdryer on the corners lightly warm them up after you stick it on and the corners will stay bent.. Just remember it took me several tries so be prepared to waste alot of it.. The real reason I bought the stuff was too outline the rear tail light lenses raised areas. It looked good till I got to the first 90 deg in the lense.. After many tries I gave up and started looking elsewhere I could use it, hence the scoop inlets..
This is why I love this site, so many people have some cool ideas (which I never gave this one a thought about the trim) and all you have to do is ask.. Holler if you need any more direction and good luck..
