Default Chrome Window Lining

Does anyone know if I can replace the chrome lining to black? If so where would I be able to? I've had friends telling me to take it to just get painted but I don't think that would look so great. PLease help.

The titanium edition window trim can be purchased from oempl.us. However it ain't cheap. In addition it is riveted on and would require drilling out the existing rivets and riveting the new parts on. I have seen an S4 that had the trim painted at a body shop and it looks pretty good. The price to have it painted was about the same amount to purchase the titanium edition trim. I guess I would wonder about the durability of painted trim though. Hope that helps.

Is all of the trim riveted on? I am needing to replace the silver trim under the driver window.

hardly anyone replaces with TI trim, your best bet is to paint, or use PlastiDip, or wrap it with vinyl.

people have achieved great looking black trim using all three methods. Search for DIY's here (I don't know if there are any) and on Audizine.com (I know there are some there).

I'm debating on doing this myself, but at this point Chrome may be the minority soon.

I could be wrong but I believe it is the trim above the front and rear windows that is riveted.

Does anyone have the part numbers (would love all 4, would be ok with just drivers door) for chrome trim under the window?
