Default Front bumper chrome trim

As I am having to order other parts from rockauto I'm thinking I should also buy front bumper chrome trim as mine is deteriorating.
Anyone know if this item is ok and is it easily replaced ? Thanks.MFR LX1044103 Bumper Trim

When I had my front and rear bumpers repaired and resprayed, I purchased the front and rear plastic trims from Rock Auto. They fit fine and really looked so much better than the tired and faded original trim. The body shop installed both of them, and I believe to install them properly, the bumper needs to be removed.

Thanks for your reply.
Has anyone replaced them themselves ? Do they have an adhesive backing ?

I still have the original trim on my 04. I found that you can polish them back to shiny by just using rubbing compound. Been doing that for years and it still works if they turn dull. Worth a try I would think.
