Need your opinion jg

Was thinking of buying the chrome window trim. But I wont have the rear quarter panel covered. Do you think it will look weird?

Here is a photoshop I provided. Top pic with quarter panel chrome, Bottom is without. Slight difference, but will it look off?

Thanks to Elvis, Used his pic for reference.

I did this mod Mamba and the rear windows are pretty cheap on www.car-part.com The problem is if the salvage yard is not close...they dont like to ship them. It only cost me $100 to have my old ones removed and the new ones installed. Also...believe it or not...I sold the black moldings and rear windows for more thasn I paid for the chrome moldings new and the rear 1/4 windowss used.

I actually don't think it looks that bad with the rear quarter left black... that is a pic though. Wonder how it'd look in person.

Wowzers @ the price you got. I'll look into that. I had kausekaos wanting to trade the rear quarter panels a few weeks ago but I havent heard from him or anything. (he wants to black out the srt). So if I cant get the rear quarter, I will just leave it black.

Yeah I agree. One of our members here DAVY27 has the rear quarter black and rest chrome. Looks kinda good but he wants to get it also.

I just want it to accent the chrome from the brush guard and bumper guards I have. Some people like their cars to have some sort of bling. :lol:

[White WK Swagga]

I voted no. IMO only do it if you plan on completing the chrome trim. If the rear black is only temt than I understand. I say all or nothing... IMO

Yea I will, hopefully the person is still down for the rear quarter panel trade.:)

[White WK Swagga]

LOL Me either. Thats why I may do the OEM HID one at a time. LOL

[Megatron]

Lol no way..............

[Martyp]

I voted no too. I think the rear quarter trim finishes the look of perfectly.

Not saying it looks bad without it tho - 'cos it doesn't.

[ducks unlimited]

i have it but it scratches easily

[White WK Swagga]

NO I mean I'm buying the OEM HID's one at a time. I'll wait till I have both to put them in. LMAO

[TimmyB]

Either do them all chrome or leave them black, my opinion. It looks funny to me only having them below the two front windows. Just my 2 cents, and im anal. I thought about doing it to mine.

I shouldnt say this, but if you have full glass coverage on ur auto insurance, it would suck if the rear cargo glass were to both get smashed. But you can have it replaced with the chrome molding which is the same price. wink.

[Robert Palmer]

All or nothing.

[Marlin]

Absolutely all or nothing. It looks fawking terrible with the black cargo trims. SPEW!

[DAVY27]

paul if u manage to get the rear quarter glass, hit me up. prolly get a discount for 2x pairs!!! :D

[LO.7]

Yeah I would have to agree with some others and say all or nothing. But that said it doesn't look all too bad without the rear qtr, but a bit off.

[Frankie]

I agree!

[DAVY27]

I agree!
This guy Frankie, I can tell, he got good taste :D

paul i think there's a rear quarter glass chrome $100 on car-part. researched it and u might be interested. hopefully it'll fit for the 08-09's cause i need a pair : )

[08Hemi]

I am against the grain here...I like it. At first it looked off, but then to me it matched the door panel chrome pieces and IMHO matches the lines of the truck. I do not know what the black moldings look like up close, but if they were painted gloss black I think the transition would look better and finish it off. One problem I think you will have is that if the front piece of the rear door is chrome, there is a small section that is on the rear quarter panel that may look off.

Ok so I think I am neutral on it...BUT if you can make the transition flow properly, I think you are on to something!!!

HMM. Then I wonder how much would installation be... lolol..

And thanks guys for the responses. I will certainly update everyone with my decision later down in the road.

What about No trim on the top.

Just chrome on the bottom?

I'd wait until Hannes comments. He has good taste. :)

[Megatron]

Bump bump it up.

Fine. LOL

YES OR NO on this idea

[White WK Swagga]

I'd rather it all black. IMO I'm not feeling the tail light covers

[DAVY27]

^^ yea i'm not a big fan of the tailight cover either. the chrome nerf bars looks good but not sure how it would look like if u have the complete set of window chrome moldings.

[KITSOS]

the last pic looks like a ford escape or whatever

[DAVY27]

[DAVY27]

[DAVY27]

[Megatron]

In the next few weeks I'll give you an update. You'll be the first person to know. :cool::thumbsup:

I'm leaning towards just the chrome molding on the bottom. Just in case I'll decide to remove all the chrome bumpers and such and do a blacked out theme in the coming years. (at least I wont be screwed with the windows)

[Dylans3960ccs]

listen to the 4 crazy people's votes . . . .

[Megatron]

I am.. I will listen to the fantastic four.. :lol:

[Robert Palmer]

^Don't. The Jeep will look out of place like that. Wait till you can get it all done.

[Dylans3960ccs]

^^ Shhhh . . .

[Robert Palmer]

^Do you really think that the Jeep will look good with mismatched window moldings? Thats the same as going with purple tint on the front windows, it looks dumb and out of place.

[Megatron]

Speaking of purple tint. I've seen one today on a silver wk.. disgusting..

[Dylans3960ccs]

it's not like the other trim is painted blue or something.

[TimmyB]

Cheapest way is to smash both quarter glass and get your insurance to pay for new glass with the chrome if you have glass breakage.

[Megatron]

Thats diff dylan........Thats purple for a reason. UV protection etc.

Were talking about pep boys tint that turns purple after 2 weeks. LOL

[Dylans3960ccs]

Oh my bad I thought yall were talking about it on brand new cars lol.

[DAVY27]

i think it looks ok....i like it over the black modings when i first put em on. So i'll even feel better when i get the rear quarter panel done :D. I get to smile twice LOL. :)

When I bought my truck (had purple front tint), within the first week I changed that crap out. The tint guys were amazed at how cheap the tint was and the glue or adhesive used was so weird it was cheap smelly glue that was in globs. Thank god I changed those out, felt like Prince after a while with all that purple lol.

[Megatron]

Speaking of tint. I am very impressed with the tint from speedworld

[Megatron]

Dylan, purple tint?

see it doesn't look bad... lol

[Megatron]

Back to the post.

Got the bottom moldings. Should I just add the chrome handles like so? Or get the window moldings too.........

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/simplykillingit/FinalDecision.jpg?t=1254197342

[Robert Palmer]

Dont rice out your Jeep. Keep the Chrome subtle. I say add the window moldings and thats it.

Then go get your push bar and rear bumper bar powdercoated gloss black.

[Megatron]

Hm.............................lol @ rice.

I know. I just want something to accent the bodylines of the jeep. The moldings would be great but Im anal and I would the rear quarter asap. Maybe if I get ahold of calvin then maybe that could work.

If i get the window moldings then most def NO chrome handles.. too ghetto for me

Watch in 5 months the whole front is gonna be black LOL.....chrome will be all gone. idk idk.. back to the drawing board.
