    Cool the secret.....

    OK, I'll spill the beans...
    it's actually 3/8" chrome wheel well molding


    $10 for 20 feet, self adhesive with 3M tape.
    Did every other slat in the stock lower and I'm happy and saved some buck$.
    I originally did all the slats and it looked billet, but didn't match the upper so I peeled 2 off.
    That's the cool part, if you don't like it, peel it off and you're out $10.

    Door trim won't work very well, it comes in 2' lengths (too short) and it's too narrow anyway. That was my first idea.
    I guess you could buy it by the roll, but the horizontal slats aren't deep enough without notching it for the uprights- that would be a big PITA

    they sell a version that is U shaped like the door trim stuff and slips right over top of the grille bars. I used some in the engine bay to trim out the CF radiator cover and engine bay border
