$1 worth of rattle can. I dont think anyone makes the trim still, your best bet would be a junk yard or someone parting out a car.

There was, is, and never has been "replacement" trim for our cars. Probably never will be either. Unless you happen to get really lucky and find NOS pieces, you will have to do what Haystack mentioned.

The chrome strip inside the molding can be replaced on the bumpers only. See the Vendor's Section for AerobirdMotorsport's offerings on that trim. The other molding pieces have built-in chrome strips that cannot be replaced or removed.

I hope your chrome trim is not in good condition if you plan to paint it.  Finding these chrome-trimmed parts in good condition is getting harder and harder as the years go by.  If it's in nice shape, maybe you could use black trim tape or something reversible like that.
