Recommended Posts

Hi guys the chrome trim has gone dull at the front. What would you guys suggest the best way to bring the shine back again without buying another new one?20241216_172518.jpg

bumper trim? 

if it's anything like the junk i bought for My window surrounds, it didn't last more than a few years. i'd try a different brand if buying it again. its' just plastic isn't it?

assume you are talking about the trim  around the  light and grill, have you tried some metal polish.

This is the correct D shape bumper trim for XD ZJ ZK FC FD ZL FE front bumpers that I got from global trim. I don't really want to spend $80 again if it's gonna go dull & develop cracks again. But if anyone knows how to bring the shine back that would be awesome.

global trim is the only place doing that style as i am aware, once the shine has gone thats it. nature of the beast.
