Trim Restore
 
Gents
All my exterior plastic/trim looks like this

Restore or buy new ones?

Somehow I think they were gray when new , not black. wondering if I should restore to gray or painting them.

Try wiping them with WD40.

Lol. Sorry. I thought you might get a laugh from the peel and stick chrome.

You could also look at an auto wrecker for good used ones, or just buy new after market.

I'm picturing him now trying to get into his van with arms full of groceries, and he can't get a grip on the door handle. hahahah :o

Those amazon ones are actually priced very reasonably.

Lol, but does that work?

In the other hand, yeah, I might buy all around new, but will have to also change the back top “pilars” -those things in top of the back lights.
