toying with an idea - looking for an unobtrusive flexy trim to surround the 914 windshield - found these

anyone tried this?

Flexline Windshield Auto Glass Universal Molding (on ebay)
and this
FlexiTrim http://www.creativeextruded.com/flexitrim.php

looking for a TEMPORARY way to make my black car's front view more blended with my new glass - more like modern muscle cars (maybe more sinister?)

like this - Attached Image

comparison pics below

(my car was originally done in all black trim in Germany - it was a "period" euro thing for 914-6s to distinguish them from 4's) (i un-did that back in the early '80s)

it's not a $$ issue - i have 2 nice sets of oem bright alu trim, and have NO interest in painting 'em black

( i might decide i don't like the "dark look" - and of course - it's a originality-value proposition for a future buyer)


current bright trim look:

no-trim "dark look" new glass, no trim in place
