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

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.
