Fake Chrome Lower Grill

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!

Re: Fake Chrome Lower Grill
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...

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.
