Cheap but good looking trim.

Being a college student, putting hundreds or thousands of dollars into my car is something I can only dream about at the time. But when I have a few extra bucks, I love it when I find something like this.

It is adhesive chrome trim, for the front grills and door handles. I like the look and it passes the "looks good from at least two feet away" test. Thoughts?

I'm not loving the door handle trim, but I like the front grill trim piece.

Thanks. I was thinking the door handle trim would be a love/hate thing.

I like the door handle trim (I've seen in person too) on WDP but not a huge fan of the lower grill chrome pieces.

I guess some chrome is ok, but don't get to carried away with it.

Oh I wont. I hate it when a car has chrome everywhere.

I respect your opinion but I must disagree.

I had the door handle trim pieces for 3+ years. And finally peeled them off this past spring. Nice look for $8.

I think they both look good myself. You can always remove them if you change your mind.

Not a fan of chrome at all, but nice find!

Nice and simple subtle touch

The chrome trim looks good on light colored cars and a Type S (because of the chrome already on the Type S).
