Default Have black base looking for silver gills and windshield surround

Have a black base model with 40,000 miles (near perfect paint) looking for fog lights, and silver (limited) windshield surround and gills. Willing to buy or trade. Thanks!

For what you'll end up paying, I'd paint them.

I keep debating painting them, but you can never get paint as good as factory paint...

On trim, the paint looks just as good, it is not large flat panels. I had a set of windsheild surrounds painted and it was perfect.

I can't be the only one out there that knows how to paint well.
Find a good local painter and have them painted. Let them know you are looking for quality and longevity. Try a collision shop or custom shop that specializes in higher end cars.
They usually only use quality materials and have skills.

Try mrmopar...I've used them for replacement parts and they seem reasonable, and honest about condition of his stuff. He has ads on here right now parting out a couple cars

You go to the wrong places then.

I'm wanting them if I can afford them. I think I sent him a PM. I tried a least, and I hope it went thru.

OMG! You can ALWAYS do better than factory paint!! The key to factory paint is speed, not quality, that's why the clear always has orange peel - dries before it can flow out, not sanded and buffed afterward. One of the biggest challenges for a good body shop painter is in making his work look as BAD as the OEM finish!
