Why not just get it from Steve and save all the hassle, he knows what you are talking about, and is quick and friendly. Even though I live hundreds of miles away from him, I still ordered from him!
It's $16 shipped to your door, and no taxes!
Here is his email address: gonzo4u@earthlink.net
I remember when I asked my dealer he said it was like $20 something with taxes, and that he had to order it first...and he wasn't even sure if it really was the part I want...even though I gave him the right part #!....that's why I recommend Steve.

It took me a while to get all 4 sides to sit snug, but I finally found a way to snap it in and it doesn't look rigged up either. On the left side, I heated up the clips, almost melted them, and I bent them in the same degree as the clips on the other side.(but pointing outwards)
Then I snapped the right side in first, and at the same time I pushed the bezel all the way towards the right as I seated the left side in. If you guys have no idea what I just said and you need help, PM me and I'll guide you through it. By the way, I used a soldiering gun to heat up the clips in order for them to change shape.

SUPER EASY GUYS
here are my pics - took all of 5 minutes - OEM was a breeze to remove with a pocket flathead scredrive, just to get it started, then the rest came off with my hands
I started at the top when removing the OEM
I started on the passenger side when installing the Chrome bezel
Piece of cake - and beautiful

Thanks for the pics Dexter!
I don't really get why some people have problems and some don't, especially when they have the same model year cars.
Dexter, did you use some sort of special procedure (ie, bending of left-side clips) that others mentioned in order to get it to fit perfectly? Thanks, please elaborate!
