chrome fender trim
 

is it me or does every single brz for sale come with this stupid little thing?

you could heat gun and easily take it off. I will pay for the shipping cost to be delivered to me.

It's an easy way for the dealers to justify higher sticker prices and its their bargaining chip. Hence the reason why just about every car has wheel locks today. I was lucky enough to find a dealer relatively close that had two identical cars with no accessories on them.

Mine didn't come with it, but i did get one online, i know a lot of people don't like them, but i think they look great on the darker colors

Mine came without, but I installed them...........and like them

I had mine ordered with them installed just goes so well with the GBS color.

I'm undecided with them on mine. I don't dislike them enough to take them off. But I don't like them enough to keep them on forever.

Its you.

They all come colored. The chrome is just a cover held on with adhesive tape

Mine came chrome. I don't mine it but I get tired of it I can always plastidip.

Wait, what? Really? :thanks:

I don't like the chrome so I should be able to remove the chrome and the colored trim should be ok? Must do that soon!

Yea its removable :bonk:

Removed mine as soon as I got home from dealer. That and the stupid gas door sticker!! Few days later bye bye badges

My badges came right off but I still need to remove the gas door sticker. And now the chrome fender trim...:thumbsup:

Most of the cars I looked at had it. That, the auto-dim or homelink mirror, wheel locks, rear bumper clear applique, and gas cap sticker seemed to be pretty prevalent in some combination. Easy way to throw $50 worth of stuff on the car and make $500 profit. Mine had all but the gas cap sticker. Took the chrome fender strips off and never looked back. Only complaint is that they have a ridge molded into the plastic to allow the chrome cap to fit flush, which I'd prefer to not have. I argued, but the dealer wouldn't take them off. I even offered to take them off myself and return them to the dealer for a refund, but they didn't want to play ball, and I was going through VIP so I didn't have much negotiating power anyway.

I ended up enjoying having an auto-dim mirror, and the applique is pretty inconspicuous and probably helpful.

I removed the chrome fender strips and the SUBARU and BRZ badges with just sitting in the sun on a warm day, no solvents or hair dryers required, no residue leftover. I had debaged before, and knew that it only gets harder as time goes by, and the sun fades the paint around the badges (so you see a dark spot where the badge was), so I did all my debadging in the first week.

Sorry...getting off topic... The one option that wanted, dimming mirror with Homelink, wasn't available a few weeks ago when I bought my GBS BRZ. It took a while just to find GBS.

I may end up buying the mirror...just haven't decided yet.

So what's your record, in parsecs?

Ugh, get that dealer plate frame off ASAP! Defeats the purpose of debadging :p

Mine only stayed on for as long as it took me to drive home from the dealership, then I went to a plain black metal one.

16 but I'm getting better =)

<shameFace>. I know. Coming off soon

I'm taking my chrome off soon. Just need to figure out the cleanest way to do it. I'm not sure i can use the normal dental floss technique with them.

Also need to remove the wheel locks, the rear badging, and the airbag stickers on the driver's window.

I took my wheel locks off, because one of them broke while tightening the other day. Before the 89ft/lbs indicated by the torque wrench...

I specifically ordered mine without the chrome, I thought it's a silly thing to have on any modern car. Much more stealthy in all DGM.
