Message	Just wanted to share a cheap fix I did over the weekend. If your window trim is in bad shape due to age, or in my case the previous owner had it painted and paint was bubbling and coming off. Either way you can get this Blackout Tape to cover it up and it will look almost as good as new. I got mine from Pep Boys for under 10 bucks, it was with the pinstriping stuff. Just sand as smooth as you can and apply the vinyl tape. The best part is its exactly the width of the lower window trim so all you have to do is trim the edges after you apply it. The durability is yet to be seen. I still need to do my rear window trim but I want to see how this lasts first because that will require a lot more trimming. For some reason I can't get images to post so just go here: [ http://picasaweb.google.com/brianhuntdesign/Blackout# ]
