still looking.....

 

JESUS already! Go to PepBoys or Autozone...they have high quality chrome trim that is the same thickness as OEM made by 3M. Re-did my entire car last year for around 20 bucks and it looks sick! Or you can waste your money and buy oem for just the area you need for $75 bucks and then find that now the other areas look too dull and also need replacing. So there goes another $150+ lol. $200+ on chrome trim lol!!!

There comes a certain point (and age) of our vehicles where "certain" items can be bought as non-OEM; no big deal. GL

 

rock, i DID go to the local autozone, advance, o'reilys, and napa. NONE of them here have it....i also didnt see it on their websites so im asking for someone to link me to it. i have no intention of doing oem trim for the price it is.

 

^ cool, in that case...I will look into it and find it for you.

 

lol, cool ty. if u not familiar with me, i always try and do my own leg work before i ask anything of anyone.

oh and before u go and look rock, i did find some on those sites but MOST were 1/2" or 1/4" im SPECIFICALLY looking for 3/8" which is what our car is

 

Yo Rock, let me know too since we're in the same state where you got yours from. I need to replace my front and sides as well

 

Actually, I just measured mine and it is 1/4" thick. Slightly thinner than the 3/8" oem...a couple of mm smaller; barely noticable. Since the "kit" came with 9' of this trim, I re-did my entire car...it needed it anyway. Now, it looks fresh and spot-on. Obviously, it might look stupid if I mix and matched this bumper trim with the thicker oem trim. IMHO, if you saw my car you wouldn't know that the entire outside is 2mm thinner. It just looks like brand new oem trim.

Brian, I tried to find your 3/8" and couldn't find it anywhere. Go with the 1/4" like I did. The 1/2" wouldn't even fit in the gapped area in the bumpers anyway. GL!

Sexy Lexy, I believe I got mine at either Advanced Auto Parts or PepBoys at the time, it was over a year ago though...

 

sigh, i guess i will have to try the 1/4" as i cannot find the 3/8" like it should be. thanks rock.

 

well, i finally did this.....got some pics a explanation to come. finished product. pic isnt that great it wasnt sunny and was inside my warehouse

 

Looks good... I think my boy picked up a decent fitting one at autobarn...

 

auto zone 1/4 inch same crap as the dealer if you want to spend more money go right ahead and go to the lexus dealer no were not hondas but there is such thing as universal... all the ebay guys do is get the stuff from auto zone and cut it for you. 15 dollars at auto zone to over 40 at the dealer seems like a easy decision to me.

 

that sucks your auto zone didnt carry it. all the stores by me have it. good old cali

 

looks oem from afar...nice job.

 

Why not just use Mothers chrome polish? I did it yesterday and now it looks like chrome again.
