Yea, pictures will be nice. I'd like to see it. I have to figure out something to do with my grille and headlamps as I hate chrome.

You could try carefully masking the chrome and spraying it with some Dupli-Color Shadow to give it a "black chrome" look.

Or you can buy moldings from Nissan without the chrome. You'd have to buy all 4 and have them painted though.
