Default Fake Chrome Lower Grill

After seeing the picture of MickeysPal's TCH, I decided to get the fake chrome lower grill add-ons from EBay. On any other Camry, I think these would look awful. However, since the TCH has a chromed grill, I think these accent pieces make the whole front end look better. Here is the before and after picture. Decide for yourself!

Flopshot, very nice! Post an update when you get your fog lights so we can see how they look too.

Thanks all for showing the "fake chrome lower grill" - I think this looks great as well.

I recall seeing "chrome" door edge guards @ WalMart & while not trying to be cheap took a chance on them. They're 24" long & just come-up a bit short when installed though you can center them for a good effect - see attached pdf. Unsure if the eBay ones are an exact match in length to the lower grill.

For $2.66 a pair even if they only last a year or so I can probably replace them 4-5 times before the price of the eBay version...

They look just fine and for that price, you can't beat the deal.

Yes, after I received the item and saw exactly what it is, I would have just gone over to AutoZone and purchased a roll of this stuff, I heard it's about $10 for something like 20ft. Basically, the EBay seller has measured the length of various grills and simply sends you a pre-cut strip matching your specific car. What a racket! Oh well, live and learn.

thanks flopshot - I didn't mean to make you regret your eBay option though you found out on your own another less expensive alternative. I appecriate you getting the idea posted & sharing the pics.

I bought chromed door edge guards at Autozone for $3.00. They are 27 inches long and will need to be trimmed. Look just as good.
