chrome trim to replace fading trim?

[AeroBFA]

aerobfa, would the clear coat wear off over time?

I really hope not, but I dont see why it would wear off. I put three coats of clear too. Well see what happens in the next few months. my biggest concern is how it will handle the cold and salt coming up.

hey guys, i'm sure this has been answered often before, but i couldn't find it through search. I'm pretty sick of looking at the fading trim above/around the windows. looks awful no matter which product i try to polish them up. i have an 07 FX and was curious about the chrome trim some people have/get. Where do i find it and what's the general price going to be?

also, i assume a lot of people who get the chrome trim also get those chrome pillars? eventually i need to figure out a way to keep that area below the rear bumper black as well. it's ugly.

thanks for the help

Its an 07 - your dealer should replace your faded black trim under warranty- mine did.

it's sucha hassle...and theres always a chance of something going wrong...seals, etc. You're much better off havinga bodyshop paint them

free vs. money. If something goes wrong you can bring it back and have them fix it, and enjoy driving a nice g37

I agree with this logic ^^^^^ free before pay...

I have always thought about bringing my car to a vinyl shop to get the trim covered, but I don't like the paying part of it.

They will hardly do it for free. I went to three different dealers, two which I knew both service and sales managers personally, and still were only able to replace the upper door trim. That's it. It'll cost ~300 to get them painted properly, I would just do that.

Dealer do more if you visit more often for regular service.

Even if they do replace for free, its bound to fade again, right? Best way is to get it painted by a body shop.

I'm sure it would take a couple years to start fading again, but painting does sound like a better option if you don't mind paying, vinyl too would be good, anybody know the price difference from vinyl and painting, both professionally done
