Lincoln Navigator Chrome Delete in Langley, BC

At a glance

On a Lincoln Navigator, a chrome delete means wrapping its bright and satin trim in black cast vinyl from 3M or Avery Dennison, finished gloss or satin, with the price set by the trim. On a 2027 Navigator most of that trim is satin aluminum rather than chrome: Lincoln Canada lists a satin aluminum grille surround, beltline moulding and roof rack side rails on the Premiere and Reserve, while the Black Label already has a Pillar Black grille surround.

What bright trim does a 2027 Navigator have?

Mostly satin aluminum, and the grille changes with the trim. The 2027 model pages from Lincoln Canada list these exterior finishes as standard:

2027 trim Grille Beltline moulding Roof rack side rails Door handles
Premiere Satin aluminum surround, satin aluminum open jewels Satin aluminum Satin aluminum Black insert
Reserve Satin aluminum surround, satin aluminum open jewels Satin aluminum Satin aluminum Black insert
Black Label Pillar Black surround, satin aluminum closed jewels, illuminated Lincoln Star Satin aluminum Satin aluminum Black insert

Bumpers and the rear spoiler are body-coloured on all three, so there’s no bright bumper trim to deal with. The handles already have black inserts. What’s left is the grille, the beltline strip under the side windows and the roof rails, plus the bright-machined faces on the standard 22-inch wheels.

What do Lincoln’s black options already cover?

A fair amount, depending on the trim and packages, so check yours before you book. On the Reserve, Lincoln Canada offers a Pillar Black grille surround with Pillar Black closed jewels and an illuminated Lincoln Star, and the Jet Appearance Package adds “black exterior detailing”, a grille with an illuminated star and LED bar, and high-gloss Ebony wheels.

The Black Label can be ordered with a black painted roof, a fully Pillar Black grille or one with Radiant Copper closed jewels, and the Black Label Special Edition bundles the black roof, a distinct grille and 24-inch Ebony wheels. None of those descriptions mention the beltline moulding or the roof rails, which is where vinyl can fill the gap.

Which Navigator pieces can be wrapped?

Each satin or bright piece you pick gets its own cut of black cast vinyl, laid over Lincoln’s finish rather than replacing it:

  • Grille surround and jewels: the satin aluminum surround on the Premiere and Reserve, and the satin aluminum jewels on a Black Label. The grille chrome delete page explains how grilles are priced.
  • Beltline moulding: the satin aluminum strip that runs beneath the side windows. The window trim chrome delete page covers this kind of strip.
  • Roof rack side rails: the satin aluminum rails on every trim.

The illuminated Lincoln Star is a separate decision. Ford’s TSB 21-2050 for 2018–2020 Navigators replaces a flickering lit grille emblem with the front bumper cover removed, a reminder that the lit parts are built into the front end.

Gloss or satin black on a Navigator?

Lincoln’s own dark wheels are high-gloss Ebony, and gloss black vinyl sits closest to them. Satin black stays nearer the low sheen of the satin aluminum it covers, and it suits the Dark Tarnished wheels on the Premiere and Reserve. Compare the two samples on the Navigator itself, outside, before deciding.

How is a Navigator chrome delete quoted?

From photos and a list. There’s no posted price, because the work depends on the trim and the options already fitted. Tell the shop the year, trim and paint colour, mention a Jet or Special Edition package if it has one, choose gloss or satin, and attach pictures of the grille, beltline and roof rails. The Navigator chrome delete quote form takes all of it, and so does a text to 604 534 6433.

Both brands the shop uses, 3M and Avery Dennison, make cast films, and its published term on the vinyl is a 5-year manufacturer warranty. For how long vinyl trim holds up on a car that lives outside, read how long a chrome delete lasts.

Questions about navigator chrome delete

01Can I black out just the Navigator's beltline moulding?

Yes. The satin aluminum strip below the side windows can be wrapped on its own, or together with the roof rails if you want the whole side profile in one dark tone. It's quoted with whatever else you add.

02What does the Jet Appearance Package already change?

Lincoln Canada describes it as black exterior detailing, a grille with an illuminated Lincoln Star and LED bar, and high-gloss Ebony wheels. Anything it leaves bright on your Navigator can be matched in vinyl.

03Does the illuminated Lincoln Star get wrapped?

Treat the lit star as its own decision and talk it through before anything is cut. On 2018–2020 Navigators Ford's bulletin notes the grille emblem is replaced with the front bumper cover off, so plan any work near it with care.
