Is there a chrome window trim diy or something available? I want to add trim to my Elantra like this BMW:

I think the only way to do it would be to remove the black vinyl tape, and replace it with Chrome vinyl. Not sure how it would turn out.

This is the closest thing I've seen to a ready-to-apply chrome trim.

Looks like crap, if you ask me.

Yeah, I actually like chrome (unlike a lot of others here) and I think those chrome pillar pieces look like junk. Just the outer edge, like the BMW above, might look ok though.

Well, the problem is, most people don't know when to stop with the chrome.

I have chrome door handles, and that's good enough for me.

Thanks guys-- all I want is the top window trim. I've seen those pillar trims and I don't really like them. I just want to give it a little shine while maintaining the stock look.

it's so funny, everyone I know with a Bimmer is always figuring out how to black out that trim lol

In the car world people always seem to want the opposite. I love it.
