Black trim options (BTD Chrome Trim Delete and Ledfinity Glossy Pillar Covers)

carpandean · Dec 13, 2023

I am about ready to pull the trigger on the Autoclover Dark Smoke window vents, since they cover the side chrome, are relatively low profile and have positive reviews from so many here. However, I did see the Bogar Tech Designs Chrome Trim Delete Overlays on Amazon. Specifically, the Side Window kit. There are no written reviews for it, so I'm wondering if anyone has tried them.

Also, I saw the Lendfinity Glossy Black Exterior Door Pillar Covers, which could be used with either of the options above. I don't mind the matte black ones, especially since I don't have the SE/XSE gloss black wheel arches and body cladding. Just curious for down the road, should I go full black out (currently have Magnetic Black XLE Premium with Black Softex and Badged Blackout Kit.)

That has only one consumer rating and it is one star. Doesn't say why.

I taped all the chrome off and used plastidip over a year ago and it still looks great, can't even tell there was ever chrome on the Rav.

If you're going for a blackout look, I can share more pics. I have almost full blackout. Just waiting to do darker rear tint

What wheels do you have? My RAV4 came with silver wheels, but I swapped them out for black XSE wheels. With the AutoClover window visors, black lug nuts, OEM CHR black center caps, and black exhaust tips, everything is black on my RAV4:

Where'd you get the carbon fiber trim from, would love to get the best version of that.

What's the best black exhaust

Vvivid carbon fiber from Amazon https://a.co/d/hEV582x
And my exhaust had over sized tips from the factory. So I used sand paper and scuffed them and sprayed them with black high temp spraypaint. Worked great. I may look into new tips down the road

I almost went with the overlay trim, but I didn't like the bulkier look. I figured a nice sunny day I would just take all the panels off and wrap the pieces myself. Lot of work though, so definitely go with the overlays if you don't have the time.

I also found the overlays on Ali
