    Man, I feel your pain

    my 98 Impreza 2dr, belt mldngs got up to $260 each…….before they discontinued them

    mine were made different….no steel under plastic/rubber coating
    Good for you

    b4 I dumped $230
    I would try to refurbish your B mldngs
    Take off
    Sand off all peeling black covering
    Prep the metal
    Paint with specific black trim paint

    Maybe even shoot a primer coat on the chrome b4 black trim paint

    good paint job 90% prep, 10% paint

    SEM Trim Black might be my favorite rattlecan paint in the world. Great sprayability, perfect finish for modern car metals and plastics, and good durability.

    I’ve painted all kinds of weathered metal and plastics on my Gen 1, Gen 2, and Lexus RX. I give the paint my highest recommendation.

    minor tweaks
    I just dropped the 2nd gen version of that same set of trim moldings with my truck at the paint shop to be installed after they finish painting it. All I could do at this point was examine them and they appear fine and decently made, no other feedback then that at this point.
