Chrome Delete Changes the Whole Look of your Vehicle
Chrome Delete Acura, Chrome has got to go. We have been vinyl wrapping vehicles for 20+ years but never have seen the anti-Chrome craze that is currently happening before. This has been our most popular add-on after Paint Protection and Tint for the last year. Check out how much a small vinyl wrap can change the look of your entire vehicle.
Chrome Delete Transforms Mom-mobile into Sports Car
Look at all the high-end cars and see what draws them to you. For years, luxury vehicles and high-end sports cars like Jaguar and BMW have turned away from the archaic chrome-finish detailing in favor of black chrome.
Auto enthusiasts consider chrome trim to be outdated, and chrome delete offers a more modern aesthetic. The Tesla Model 3 was a large contributor to the influx of chrome delete services in local car wrap shops, including here at Seattle Clearbra. You have a few options for vinyl wrap film, we prefer APA, 3m, or Avery. This Chrome Delete Acura page helps to show the dramatic difference.
Which Chrome to Delete?
Chrome Delete Acura wraps can be used for a variety of areas on your vehicles including grilles, all trims, mirror caps, emblems/badges, vents, door handles, bumper valences, and other accents.
Window Trim
Many vehicle manufacturers have been putting chrome trim around auto glass, on the side and rear windows and windshields. If you choose to “delete” this stark trim, you can choose to wrap with a matte, satin, or gloss finish, in addition to a wide range of colors and finishes you can select from to add a more personal touch. If you’d prefer a textured contrast color to the rest of your car’s paint, the options are limitless. Or, with hundreds of color options, we can color match the chrome deletes to your body’s paint.
Grille
Chrome grilles can be a little over the top for most vehicle owners, especially on vehicles with very large grilles, like most Audis and Bentleys. Chrome delete wraps can help you create a more understated, everyday appearance for the front end of your ride. Choose a variety of options including a grille color change, muting the outer border while leaving the front grille untouched, or a complete chrome delete.
Emblems and Badges
Deleting emblems and vehicle brand badges seem to vary between vehicle owners. Some car enthusiasts who opt to chrome delete their vehicle, choose to leave the emblem alone, allowing it to stand out against the muted rest of the car. Others, however, delete it all to offer a completely blacked-out matte appearance. The choice is yours and we can help guide your design choices for your Chrome Delete Acura.

- 30% – Legal for the front side windows and getting towards the darker side
- 20% – Closely matches factory OEM tinted privacy glass that comes on the rear windows of vehicles
- 15% – Not legal on front side windows or windshield and is getting pretty dark
