Re: Chrome Trim
A silver metallic paint marker would do the trick or replace the whole thing from another junked one.

Re: Chrome Trim
replace or fix the piece that is peeling off, then have it all rechromed.

What's to love? just a pic of the whip and a few links. It's nice, but idk about love. And don't be afraid to check out the Team Chozen site. I do all the work on there and we have a high caliber of rides.

Re: Chrome Trim
Have you guys tried to use a heat gun to remove it? Im not really sure how its mounted. But I've helped people remove emblems with heat guns. Just have to be very carefull with it.
