You might want to black vinyl wrap those chrome bit. Much easier.

You should probably spray paint them in 'glossy black' and it will look so much better than replacing with chrome..

Bro jimmy631, paiseh hijet your thread, I'm looking for it also
 
Re: WTT: Black door external trim to trade for your chrome trim

the most cost effective way is to vinyl it
the best outcome is to spray paint it

cannot swap because once the trim is removed, it is almost unuseable already. the trim is hold into position with clip and glue.

Bro wt_know, not many paint shop have chrome paint, u know any?
 
Re: WTT: Black door external trim to trade for your chrome trim

chrome paint? don't think so ... chrome vinyl maybe but the look and feel fall short of real chrome

order the chrome parts from eng soon
bring it to a workshop to install
if you want it, you can do it

The lower window trim will bend & most probably not re-usable anymore.

I accidentally pull out a bit while trying to make it fix nicely after the edges pop up a bit, but never get to fix it back.

Went to stockist that happens to have partial used set & ordered the other half set to get the whole trim replaced.

Damaged at > $600 with installation, burn big hole in my pocket..
 
Re: WTT: Black door external trim to trade for your chrome trim

$600 for up and lower trim or just the lower trim?

Price for whole set include 1 long upper trim & 2 lower trim for both side.

Understand from stockist chrome tends to be cheaper during the time when the trend is for 320 to chrome the trim, while obviously the trend for now is de-chrome.. They usually bring in quite a nos. of sets hence price was cheaper, but it's not easily available anymore, usually need to indent or get from PML.

Not sure for price of chrome trim now, but OEM parts are never ever cheap.....
