Who's got the fast-link to those part numbers and sellers for the chrome strips on the rear bumper of the '05-'08's? I've already replaced the chrome chin piece under the grill, but Zango!! the chrome on the bumper looked great and then suddenly started delaminating off the plastic. Rats.

She's worth it, though, so I'll pop some new ones on there.

FWIW, I've been thinking of just removing my trim pieces and brining them down to the body shop and having them painted black (or to match the body color) so I don't have to worry about it ever again I'm guessing it'd be significantly less than $100/piece

I went through this 4 years ago:

https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-rl-2005-2012-76/replacing-rear-bumper-trim-500805/

At that time I spent about $75 for the trim piece. They may be rising in price as part supply diminishes.

FYI, as noted in the thread, you have to pop the rear bumper cover loose to access the 'wing nut' like fasteners on the backside of the bumper before you can remove the trim piece.

Just wondering if you have tried this? Or some sort of chrome strip/tape sold on ebay for under $10...I'm sure it won't last nearly as long as would the OEM, but I'm just curious if you or anyone else has experience with how it looks.

I know its a $50,000 car, but seems ridiculous to pay so much money for a tiny piece of chrome trim.

Not on this car, but yes on other applications.

Beware that there are different grades of vinyl so you get what you pay for in most cases.
