well SEARCH but I'm nice

There's a few things that can be done:

Some people have done some sort of vinyl covering. Search will reveal that.
The other option is take it in and get it painted! (Might be expensive). Hope this helps!

what do you mean?


you don't like the black trim that you have, or do you want black trim?

if you have chrome trim, go to Pepboys and find "trimbrite" blackout tape..
carefully cut it out and apply it over the chrome.. i did this on my black max and it came out good.. holds well too.

If you have a black car with black trim, what's the problem?

You want chrome trim?! Sheesh, I just spent $500+ to change my GLE chrome to SE black.

Use rubber protectant/dressing on the trim. It will bring the shine right back.

My buddies back at Autopia like using peanut butter if you have any white stains on the trim.

Any protectant (I highly recommended 303 Aerospace though) will work fine.

Peanut butter? How does it work? Just rub it on and wash away? Man, if my neighbor see me doing this, they will think I am crazy.

303 is good. Lexol is also good!
