trim just got here this morning......... car hasnt even been started on at the body shop,except front/rear bumpers HAVE been painted

as they said this wont stay.....will last bout 6 month maybe

 

obviuosly the dealer but we have a great lexus salvage yard here in az with all the goodies pm me if u want the number

 

you wont be able to remove them without the chrome cracking off.....no way to reuse them i have ever seen

 

For the folks that already purchased the trim, please post the contact info on where you bought them.

 

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.

 

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

 

Sorry for beaten-in on this post so many times. Can someone post of the OEM part numbers for the front/rear bumper, side chrome trim?

 

arnt there threads on this already?

 

could u not go to sewell and search for them? even the OG's getting lazy on here.

here you go man but seriously next time go to sewell and do some of your own leg work. it took me all of 3 mins

front is 5271130200
rear is 5275130110


yup....the one your looking at well else do you need to know man? i did a DIY with pics on this thread....

 

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

 

thats the exact one i bought....def isnt as flush as the OEM one is. it sits back into the bumper, the OEM one does not

 

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.
