Grazio Chrome Window Frame and Door Handle
 
4 Attachment(s)
HI,

I saw that Grazio has new products for Toyota 86/FRS/BRZ.

These chrome Window Frame and door handle looks great for me.

However, it is very expensive.

Do we have any aftermarket parts or any shop that can do the customize work

or any easy DIY plan which close to these products in US?

Please let me know. Thanks.

ps. I did consider the chrome vinyl wrap, but the window frame is not a flat surface.
I am not sure that can be done or not. I also consider painting.
However, someone mention that the chrome paint is easily to fade.

I saw these too and am allso interested in them. I also agree that they are rediculosly exspensive. I would love to get them but unless the get cheaper I might just try a wrap. And the vinyl can wrap around different shapes. Look on youtube, there are tones of videos that show people wrapping the vent bezels which are no where near flat objects

Actually, I did not have experience.

I planned to do carbon fiber wrap the front nose, sider vent and rear diffuser before

and post here. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30506

Some one response and told me will not work.

I thought that might need the flat surface to do the vinyl wrap.

Any suggestion for the brand of chrome vinyl wrap?

Do you prefer the light or dark chrome?

Will you plan to do chrome wrap on both window frame and door handle?

Thanks.

It is Grazio aftermarket product.

Grazio is so over priced...

Turbowned 03-22-2013 03:02 PM

Very nice products, but too expensive to buy in the U.S. They're expensive to start and the exchange rate makes it even worse :(

Wow. Liking that window frame a lot. I really expected to come into this thread and say "ugh.."

MemphisR 03-22-2013 04:04 PM

ugh...lol

Money is better spent elsewhere none of their stuff is worth it. Look at their tail lights jesus you are basically paying for another tail light the same as yours and with some tint on them... Lol i really dont get why people would want to buy from this company... i guess im hating...

i dont sorry.. i mean the door handles will get annoyingly dirty from the very first touch and it will get finger prints right away so it wasnt really something that appeal to me.. i think the carbon fiber one looks nice only if you have little cf here and there or it will be out of place.. i dont know how much work it would require to swap out those handles... it seems like a big job tho. Maybe if you do get the handels you can insulate the doors better too/ sound proof them that can also improve on your speaker sound quality i saw some posts before in the DIY section i think.

ウインドウフレームガーニッシュ メッキ調 NEW 52,500円  ステンレス製3D 両面テープ貼り付け仕様 全6PCセット *3.
ウインドウフレームガーニッシュ ブラッククローム調 NEW 73,500円  ステンレス製3D 両面テープ貼り付け仕様 全6PCセット *3

These are the prices of the black chrome and grey frame pieces... Put on with 3M tape.... seriously not worth it...$735 i wonder if they have a typo or something LOL anyways comes in 6 pieces

I also very surprise that black chrome is much expensive than the gray one.
