Does anyone know where i can get some new chrome fender trim like this to fit my car?
SiberianFirestorm
Like what? I did not see a link or picture.

If you mean the chrome pieces that are added on, I believe most part stores, i.e. AutoZone or Advance, will have it.

What year?

Well according to his Tech Tray his car is a 1996.

The thing is I don't remember any of the 4th gen cars, and the majority of the 3rd gen ones, coming with the chrome wheel well trim. I've only ever really seen that on 1st and 2nd gens.

Here's a link to a pic of his car showing the trim that he's looking for.

Wow, never seen that before- was that from the factory?

No it's not factory but was on the car when i bought it! I didn't like them at first,i thought they were too flashy! But the look has grown on me and i've come to like it. then a friend bumped my car and bent one up, he's willing to buy a new set but i don't know where to get them!

I think you should either pull the rest of them off or get some of those rear window louvers.

Are you saying you don't like the look? What do window louvers have to do with it?

I really don't like the look- I think they should be taken off. I was being sarcastic about including the louvers, as they are quite heinous.

I didnt remember him asking peoples thoughts on the looks of the trim... just where the heck to get em.... wink.gif

I think I have seem them at your local parts house like auto zone, o' reilly etc..... I think they come pre made and will have to cut to fit and are adhered using a type of double sided tape...

post pics when your done... and if you are so inclined, ask the communities opinion in a different post... then brace yourself for the good, bad and the ugly... smile.gif


good luck....

Thanks for the suggestion! But i think louvers would work better with your fender stripe/wheel package!

I keep thinking along the same lines as formula90, that you can get that molding at places like Advance Auto Parts, Auto Zone, Pep Boys, etc. I also keep thinking that I've seen it (wide like that) on another make/model of car from the factory. For some reason a Cadillac keeps coming to mind but I'm not sure. So if nothing else keep an eye on different cars in the local parking lots and see if you can see one with the wide molding like that and see what make/model it is and maybe you can go to the parts department at the dealer that handles that car and see if they can help you out.

But either way good luck finding it.
