Default New chrome trim. Updated pics

Got new trim for exterior lights ,front and back...and cup holder,still waiting on bottom cladding between front and back doors,Amazon says next Tuesday. These pieces all fit great and appear to have a firm grip with 3 m tape....also new personal plates and my rockstar Pomeranian.

Yes.. we need the whole rear and front of the car in shot from a distance, so we can actually see how the car looks, not the individual parts.

I would clean all areas to be secured with the chrome trim free of dirt or dust I did mine in the morning when the temperature was not so hot and let it sit for one day before driving the car always do a pre-fit before you remove the red backing to get an idea of how the piece will fit. Use a toothpick to remove the red tape as you do not want to disrupt the original backing on the trim piece

Putting the trim pieces below the doors require additional mounting tape Home Depot 3M exterior $19.00 a roll ,you'll need to secure additional layers of tape on each piece.The originals do not come with enough tape to secure two sides of the cladding

Well mine turned up yesterday, so I installed the chrome.

It's just so apparent that it should come from the factory like this.... looks 100%

I guess I'm in the minority, I think it looks too ghetto for me.
