I just replaced the trim with the 3/8" from Cowles product and my conclusion is the front will not sit flush and stick well so you'll have to buy the 1/4" but the rears fit perfectly without issue.
For the folks that already purchased the trim, please post the contact info on where you bought them.
Since i just had my TTE lip put on and my l-sportline rear done i decided not to use the aftermarket since they dont sit flush. i ordered mine from sewell. both were like $108 shipped i think
1/4 inch chrome trim, comes in a roll of 20ft or 25ft, got it at pepboys for 12 bucks or so. It fits perfectly! 3m tape and all, im sorry but there is no need for expensive dealer for this part, i can take pictures if you want to see the fit.

yes it phyically will fit BUT its not as thick as the OEM stuff so it kind of looks sunken.....
also im pretty sure i measured it and its supposed to be 3/8
Here it is, honest I doubt anyone can tell the difference, it has the 3m adhesive and fit perfectly in the grove, no gap or anything. To be honest I spent plenty of money for OEM stuff, I have a specific account at my local toyota dealership with my card on file, I call and order it and they dont need me to come in or varify anything. Front nuts, bolts, weather strips, sensors, etc... I dont mind spending the money when it is deserved or is a visual critical part that aftermarket can not match. However this chrome strip is not that big of a deal, the part I got fits perfectly and looks OEM, no one has ever been able to tell the difference. Pictures below for reference
wow your super **** then lol.. J/K.. I can't tell the difference and it works for me, if it does not for you I understand. I guess I am not as strict with my DD as I am with the Supra so i understand.
I replaced mine with the same 1/4" inch stuff one day when I was bored. Def not as flush but nobody can tell the diff. And when it fades I'll replace it again. Its a DD. I put money in OEM parts where they need to go.....chrome bumper trim is not one of them.
