I agree chevy should have put the chrome around the door. I have to give a thanks to HHRNut he had the idea first and I stole it from him.

Actually I think you'll find that CJ Krause had the first interior chrome, as well a lots of mods.

Where did you get the chrome, and what size is it? Does it adhere well? I want to do it, too. Matches the chrome around the gauges nicely.

The cowlesproducts link is a good one. You can also get it at Pep Boys...I did the same on mine pretty much, except I put it around the rear door speakers to complete that look. It's 1/8" and it sticks ok if you clean it real good, but mine is coming loose, so I'm going to buy some glue that CJ recommended to make it adhere better. Surface is bumpy and it doesn't stick as nicely as it does on a plain surface. I'm also going to do the chrome around the center console but need to wait until I get the 6 disc changer I bought from Toyko installed when it arrives. Hopefully, it will pop right in and hook up w/o any problems.

Mods look good...keep up the good work.

I had the chrome around the inside of the doors and I pulled it off. It looked awsome, but it would stick great for a while and now it doesnt want to. What was the glue that is recomended since I REALLY want to keep the chrome look. Thanks

There's a lot of things that could've been done by GM as added details, but if that happened, then we'd be left with less to mod and also give reason for GM to raise the sticker price.

Keep an eye on it. I got mine from Pep Boys too. It did great for a while, but it started to come off after a while. I ended up removing all of it.
