Default Chrome strip on front and rear bumper

I need to get the chrome strip on the front and rear bumper. Is there anywhere else to get this beside going to the dealer. I recall reading a thread a few months back that you can order it somewhere on the net. Anyone remember...Thanks

I think you can get those chrome strips from Pepboys or Autozone. Just make sure you buy the right size.

My brother got into an accident and didn't know where to get them so he got the Pep Boys kind and it looks just like mine. It's been way over a year and no signs of peeling. But I'd go OEM just for the peace of mind.

Man, I feel like I got ripped. Repainted my rear bumper and changed out the chrome stripping too. Shop charged me $80 for the OEM chrome trim for the rear bumper alone.

At least its OEM...

i did the same thing, went to pepboys and brought in a sample of the oem chrome strip. bought it and two years later with weekly car washes, no sign of peeling. save your money and get it from pepboys.
