Default Chrome Vent Trim?

What do you guys think? Personally, I like it.

Yeah, looks like something chrysler or cadillac would put on its vehicles to impress the hoodrats.

Thumbs down

IMHO, they don’t seem to fit with the overall appearance of the dash as they focus too much attention to the vents. They may be just another attempt to give the car a classier look (like those stick-on dash wood trim kits) with the opposite result.

Actually, I think that's what it is.

The same seller also sells chrome grill trim, which I think is the same stuff...just cut to a different length.

And, if it's in fact chrome door edge trim, you can do the mod yourself for less. Or, the same price, with a lot of material left over.

I'd rather get shot blank point range than get caught with those on.
