I just got off the phone with the parts guy at Don Herring. To get the black "rubber strips" from a GTS to swap for my chrome ones is almost $300. And that's not including the price to swap them out.

If I were Wile E. Coyote, I'd be holding up a sign that said "yikes" right about now.

 

That seems very odd, they're only about $40/each for a DSM.

That's what I said. I may have to make the drive out there. I'm not sure the part I mean is the part he thinks I mean.

 

Look up the part online. I know that searching for the part is a pain most of the time but most of the time there is a diagram that shows the part.

Which part are you wanting to replace exactly, like where is it on the car?

 

It's on each door. It's the chrome window sill piece. I want mine black instead of chrome.

I'm guessing it's part #2?

 

You'd be guessing right. I really need to head over and see them in person.

 

$300 for a belt moulding is crazy. They must be talking about the wrong part.

Edit: Maybe he was quoting you for the entire run channel? Those can get pricey...but still...

 

Can you just remove them, sand them, then hit them with some flat black??

 

+1 to goofygrins idea

Did you tell them you're in NTEC? That statement alone can make dealer prices drop hardcore

 

Cover them with vinyl adhesive.

 

Well thanks to you guys (specifically rmondoh and a couple others) I have the necessary parts on their way to me now... at a drastically reduced price.

 

Glad I could help!

 

Where did you get them from?
