So i work with vinyl and it just hit me to try this. I was able to pick up a used set of repo moldings to wrap it in brushed aluminum vinyl since i really love the look and im cheap.

Of course i would have it all go one way(this was just an extra piece i had) to make it look real. My question is how much is too much? i was thinking rail moldings and window moldings maybe bumpers?
Will brushed look good against a red car ?LMK what you guys think

I guess there may be benefit to using vinyl as you can remove it without harm. Brushed stainless has been done and I personally don't care for it. For guys with brushed centers, brushed billet tail light bezels and other bits it all ties together and creates a cool look.
Google "ridetech velocity" for images, plenty of brushed metal theme there.
I'm a sucker for shiny, not so much for trendy.

dont spend the money on vinyl, use some emery cloth and scotch bright pads and just make the aluminum drip rails brushed. I did it on my 72 GTO and it looks badass with the rest of teh car.
