Chrome Trim Around The E90 Windows

think it looks ugly... realize that there are a million threads on here about this so dont come on here and tell me to "search".. less effort for you to just pass it by...

anyway can someone on here thats knowledgeable in replacement options please comment? BMW wants like 400 for the plastic/vinyl trim that they put on the 328 and like 550 for the shadowline (black metal) trim.... thats ridiculous! not to mention they have to install it and thats another crazy expense...

anyone have a CHEAP way to replace the chrome trim with black trim (preferably shadowline, not the cheap plastic) that is EASY to install? help

Shadowline actually costs more.

Tischer has a sale on the replacement parts in the sponsor section.
