I changed out the one piece above the windshield, and the two long strips that run along the roof to hood line with the painted gray 86-89 trim. Pretty easy swap. Replacing the rear window trim is too much of a PITA, so I will probably mask/spray.  |
My car didn't come with gold strim, its all chrome, unless the gold faded with age and sun
. I would want to do my trim black, but the chrome doesn't look out of place at all. JohnM do you have pictures to post?
mbzman, I do agree with you which is why I stayed away from purchasing non-stock rims. But, you must admit that the lights on the older mbz's are complete garbage as far as the output. I really didn't like the look either, stock or not, it was just hideous to me the way that I had a boxy glass lens and then a plastic lens right next to it that would eventually become yellow. But I will steer away from cheap body kits and spoilers, I think that if I wanted to do that I'd just buy a Japanese made car.
