I really doubt anyone makes one so your best bet would be to have it chromed yourself list price is $23.92 so buying one and chroming it is probably a better option than having yours stripped and chomed
on a side note
why would a chrome spot in the middle of your quarter panel look good?, i understand shaving the gas door but this i dont.

a big chunk of chrome breaking up the side of a nicely painted car only detracts from the clean lines, IMO.

like the door handles don't already do that

I ran into a first gen the other week that had chrome trim on every spot possible. He even had it around the lining of the trunk and wherever fenders lined up. It was AWESOME

Was it a gold 99 3.0? If so, that's mine. I was thinking of stacking another wing on top of my existing wing. That would look extra sporty...especially with some chrome trim around the edge of both wings.

I'm still pissed they didn't paint or atleast black out the chrome trim around the windows like they are doing on the TL and Accord now.
