I think it looks a lot better with the trim , adds a little commonality between the guide, center inlay and the trim band . Where did you get the idea for such a great accessory to that wrap?? LOL JH

Thumbs Up! Like the color choice and the trim tops it off. Regards. Outback.

Thanks Outback....John, thanks for the suggestion of black bands, it does look alot better, as my first thought was a gold band with a couple spirals...years ago I met a builder who rarely used outer trim bands, I liked the look and thought I'd try it on this rod.........back to others...trim or no trim?

Mike,
I like it better with the black trim also, not that it didnt look sweet without....Just adds a finishing touch!

I like it with the black trim. It helps the guide to stand out on the white blank. Very nice.

Looks nice on the white blank; wonder if it would look as good if the blank were black?? Nice job!!

Black trim bands are very distinctive. That is a very nicely produced wrap. Very nice work. Black is my favorite color to wrap, it always comes out looking like glass and is such a perfect compliment. Nice.
