Default Ls400 chrome door molding trim

My 90 ls400 is getting painted and I was thinking about purchasing new chrome door and bumper trims, and was just wondering where do you guys get your trims from?

I remember getting a quote on these from Sewell back in 2009. Each window trim was over $400 with the CL discount, maybe even higher. Needless to say, I didn't replace them. What I did do was use a dremel tool with a wire wheel on it to clean them up. They cleaned up nicely. Consider masking off around the trim if you try this. One slip up could cost you some paint damage. I figured some of the areas where the chrome had flaked off would tarnish or rust after cleaning them up, but three years later, it hasn't happened.
