Looks good man I did mine a while back using some vinyl I had layin around. You're right, it was difficult to get the lines to look right, and the back corners eventually peeled up. I might try painting mine now, I loved the look of it ( from a distance ), but the vinyl just didn't last

I saw someone with a SOM one do that and thought it looked really cool but he also did the space between the front and rear doors so the whole window profile was blacked out.

To get rid of that "ragged edge". use a 1/8" strip of white pinstripe on the edge.

Actually thinking of doing the front too. Think it would look very clean

I think just the "B" pillars blacked out looks hot...

Edit: I meant the "C" Pillars.. Doh !!

Still like the idea but for me the rear door handles would have to go:

And the SBOm one that you did.. Hillsdale !!!!!
I had thought of doing some thing like that with my
'08 Trail blazer. . to make it look more like a 2 door. .
instead of a 4 door.

Looks very good. Nice job. Gives you a nice Advertising space.

The Chevy Astro Vans had black done like that.

Just realized this is a pretty old thread.


Still a nice touch.
