Default Chrome moldings on Ebay

Has anyone purchased the below Chrome moldings?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271839794122?item=271839794122&viewitem=&vxp=mtr
Was interested to know the quality and if the chrome matched.

I noticed all these NX Chrome postings on ebay as well. But I'm afraid of the quality and whether in a few months, it's going to look like a pile of rust.

I have looked at those as well. It is hard to tell if the fit/finish will be good or not with only one or two pictures. Was hoping someone on the forum would bite the bullet and post up a review with pics!

Default rear bumper trim

I am about ready to order this trim. I need to take off the black trim that came on the NX first. If anyone has used it yet please reply.

Thanks

Regular application of wax will prolong the lifespan of the stainless steel finish even if the quality risks being mediocre. What will kill a cheap finish is winter salt, but you folks are south enough to not have to worry about this. Something to think about when weighing the cost over risk of rusting...

Default Got something else from Ebay

I didn't get the rear chrome molding package, but I did get the side door trim moulding and the interior window switch panel in chrome. I installed them this past weekend and here are the results:




Mrs. and Mr. <br/>5% front window tints.





I used Lego blocks to level the trim moulding





Once it's placed in position, tape the molding to the door to keep it in place. Peel the tape off from the bottom of molding and start from left to right to not create bubbles in between.





Finished product on passenger's side





Finished product on driver's side





Chrome window panel on passenger's side.





Chrome window panel on driver's side





Inside look when it's dark inside. It goes with the rest of t he chrome gas/break pedals and the brush on the steering wheel.

Trungvt...did you have to remove any black trim for this chrome trim at the bottom...doesn't look like you would have too, but ronlexus mentioned removing black trim first ? Maybe he was just talking about the back trim .

I was only talking about the rear bumper trim. Not the lower chrome trim which does NOT require any removal.

I personally think there is already too much chrome on the car from the factory. I did like on the RC-F that they use black chrome for the front grill, it at least makes it a little more subtle.
