Default What about getting them silver painted and clear coated?

Somebody did this to his WOOD trim and it looked really nice!

Default I LOVE IT!!! (more)

When the 2003 came out, I was bitterly disappointed that they took out the aluminum trim. I loved it in the 2002.

When I was about to buy my 2003, I was fully prepared to switch it to the aluminum. I was even going to finance the parts from the parts dept. into the price of my new car (I think it's about $600). That's how sure I was that I wanted the aluminum.

Common sense prevented me from buying new trim for a brand new car. I figured I'd live with the fiberglass for a while.

I have had the car for 6 weeks now, and I LOVE THE BLACK FIBERGLASS. It looks soooooo smooth on the ebony interior. I still like the aluminum, but not as much. I think it looks better on the gray interior. It gives too much contrast on the ebony. The black fiberglass looks like black piano wood. Very slick.
