Pull off all the chromed metal bits and get them sand blasted clean then 
primered/painted. This works, friends BMW 3.0 looks very good this way. I'm 
not sure about removing the chrome plastic strip around the windshield, 
isn't this referred to as a 'locking strip'? BTW... the panel van I have 
comes blacked out, handles, hinge, bumpers etc. Does it qualify as Cal look 
too? Do I need neon belly lights? tim s.
