Classic MS chrome deleting trunk trim completely

[2015-85]

Any products/ideas for completely chrome deleting the trunk trim in early MSs? I want the look of the new S with the Tesla lettering also chrome deleted.

Most chrome delete kits come with the TESLA letters stamped out. The intent is that you remove them so the chrome letters poke through the blacked out trim but you can simply place those letters back over the top which will pretty much provide the look you want. I'd also recommend just going plastidip for this piece as it's far easier and will coat the entire trim piece, including the edges of the letters that could show a little chrome if you looked close enough should you use the first method.

I used vinyl on one vehicle and plastidip on the other. The plastidip looks much better. It was very easy to remove the chrome on the X, not sure about an S.

Thanks, I will try plastidip. I believe the process of removing the trim is very similar in X and S

Why remove it? That's part of the beauty of plastidip is you just spray it in-place. Works good for static items like the rear one you're talking about but I wouldn't use it for folding mirrors, presenting handles, etc. I think some have but I wouldn't. Vinyl works better for those applications due to how thin it is. If all you want is the rear I'd just go the plastidip route. If you wish to delete all trim I'd suggest just going with the vinyl kits available from several suppliers. It's a bit of a PITA but it's affordable and durable.

It took me two minutes to remove the trim and I didn’t break any clips. Go in from the bottom with your trim tool. You will need double sided foam tape to reapply once sprayed.
