The dealership is out of control with their prices, as always......also, if you have a kit the pre cut strips form the dealer may not fit anyhow.

On my black GS, my body shop just bought a roll of it form the auto parts store they use....the total cost was $15, it matched the factory stuff perfectly,a nd you can put it on yourself and cut it to length. I used this same roll for two different kits, WIN and Veilside.

Save your money, go to an auto parts store and do it yourself.
