I'd love a write up on the whole process if you figure it out, that's a great ideaI am considering vinyl wrapping the chrome door strips and need some information / help on removing the strips, sourcing some good vinyl, and also the best way to actually wrap them.
I would like to black them out. Any suggestions? I did a cursory look for threads but found mostly plasti-dip and questions.
OK as soon as I figure out how.:dazed052:I'd love a write up on the whole process if you figure it out, that's a great idea

Thank you !OK as soon as I figure out how.:dazed052:
I tried to locate some. I have purchased the appliques for the rear that are black, but so far no luck on the rest. I have that also posted in my WTB thread.You may be better off doing a junk yard swap. I believe someone said that the LS has black trim. Or maybe make a post and see if someone with a LS would trade you.
The trim just pry's off, I dont think there is any screws or anything. Thats how my others cars are at least.
You are correct Sir! I learned this first hand at Lordstown2017. They pop off by lifting up slowly at one end and gently slide your hand towards the other end as you progressively lift up to remove the "seal" as its called. I purchased/traded a set in the parking lot of the hotel we stayed at. Does anyone that was there remember the name of the guy I swapped with? Or at least his handle?You may be better off doing a junk yard swap. I believe someone said that the LS has black trim. Or maybe make a post and see if someone with a LS would trade you.

I currently have the black seals on the doors and have been overwhelmed with other "To Do" lists, so the appliques are still sitting in a box. My description of how to remove them was from when the guy I swapped with changed out his. I included a set of chrome ones in the deal that I had bought from someone on the forum. I still do not know the name of the guy who I bought them from if that is what you mean.Did you ever get anywhere with this?

Yes they do. If you look at the back of the appliques, there is no way to easily pop them off without breaking at least one. How many pins did you get with the ones you acquired? If your lucky, with the few you probably got with the black ones and the few that might be ok when you pop off yours, you might have enough to make it work. Otherwise just buy some more at the dealer.I was mainly just wondering what you'd found out. So if I was able to find a set of LS trim and appliques, in theory they should just swap right over? And not sure I understand the part about the appliques pins do they just break?

I haven't acquired any of the trim/appliques yet. Is it hard to come by?Yes they do. If you look at the back of the appliques, there is no way to easily pop them off without breaking at least one.

When I bought mine they came with six pins.
The link for them is in post #9.I haven't acquired any of the trim/appliques yet. Is it hard to come by?
