    Has anyone successfully removed the chrome from the air vents? Specifically the little tabs that direct the air flow. I’m trying to get rid of the chrome on my TRD ORP. I’ve installed the black steering wheel emblem, blacked out the front chrome strips on the grill, replaced the ring around the push button start. I’m waiting for the meso customs door handle black out kit for the interior to get back in stock.

    I blacked out those small chrome strips with that grip material Talon Grip.

    PlastiDip will work also. Prep it right and after you’ll never know there was chrome to begin with.

    After a few drinks, yeah.
    And the left side it could be evidence of a seated ancient astronaut, a’ la Erich von Däniken.

    I used a black permanent sharpie pen, went over it a few times. You can still see a tint of chrome but in a dark vehicle it’s not the noticeable. Just watch you don’t get it on the actual vents. I goofed and did in a few spots, but it’s not that noticeable.
