Default Cheap DIY Mod I Came Up With Tonight

you can get door edge trim from any automotive store... I did a few things with it tonight, with some extra I had left over from doing my undertail

if you guys like you can try it yourself haha

first is the front fender






edge of your side fairings



or even the top of your windscreen

I did that to the underlip of my gas tank to reduce any paint chipping. Looks good and works great.

I like an understated amount of this kind of 'edging,' too. Have you tried it in retro tape? I think the reflective aspect at night would be cool, too.
