Door moldings ffs

[IrishBeatdown]

So I've spent like 2 hours searching for door moldings as the one on the gsx i just bought are flaking off. I can't seem to find them anywhere, and as there isn't a mitzu dealership in Tucson, was hoping that someone knew where to find them? I used the search function but all the threads on this seem to be old, and the links not working anymore, and the vendors websites defunct. Any help would be appreciated.

The upper curved ones are discontinued

The straight ones that go on the doors are still available, although getting limited from what ive heard

Yeah the junkyard . Seriously. You either need to find a way to renew your moldings or find some that are in good conditions, sand them down abit and recoat them with trim paint so that they can last.

Yeah, the ones I need are the upper curved variety, looks like I have my work cut out for me, the one i need to fix up has a nice little smile roped into it like someone mashed it with a large blunt instrument. I'll start checking out the salvage places, thanks for the info!

I've never removed the moldings from my gsx but from prior experience i'd say to just fix yours.. Removing those can be a PITA, especially because the clips have a tendency to snap or bend.

When removing the vortex generator from my evo, i had to pull up the molding from the rear window and a few snapped.

Try some sanding and plastidip spray paint...should come pretty close

ill pick some of that shit up for sure. It's like a rubberized SP? My trim looks like it was faux-chrome look at some point and the previous owner decided to black it out. Thanks!

Yup thats exactly what it is

Almost forgot..you'll need a few coats of clear

I know of a few people that went the plastidip route and it looked good. Couldn't even tell the difference from a few feet away.
