.......clean the chrome REAL good ( i used alcohol 3 times )

..mask off the rubber around the chrome strips and spray them with plasti-dip.

mine came out looking good ( looks like the rubber around it ) , and has been done for several months now.

just take your time.

also.............practice spraying on something else before doing the strips so you can "get a feel" for how the coating goes on.

You could also buy the GSR ones, though they are like 30 dollars a piece.

if you order from your dealer....order the window trim for an '09 lancer DE.

this is what i will do soon.

i bet the parts will be cheaper if you say you are getting them for a DE....

....rather than the "expensive" exoX !
