2014 Chevy SS & Pontiac G8 Black Trim around the side windows

[Crazy Paul]

2014 Chevy SS & Pontiac G8 from factory have 6 "chrome" pieces surrounding the side windows.
The most cost effective way to change these 6 pieces to BLACK is to:

A) Buy the 2 replacement black really long curved gutter trims yourself from GM in USA. You don't want to be transporting them very far because due to their length and fragile nature the shipping is expensive and transit damage is common.

EDIT, JULY 10th 2015....GM in North America have stopped stocking and selling the 2x long Black Gutter trims.

The complete boxed set of 4 straights and 2 long curved gutters all in Black are still available shipped by UPS from Australia to your door.

PLUS

B) Buy the 4 replacement black upper door straight trims from Australia.
Total shipped by Airfreight ETA 14 day is US$180
Paypal as normal "goods and services" to Paypal ID = pjsadler@iinet.net.au

4 x new black straight genuine GM straight upper door trims complete with clips.

Confirmed today.
Black gutter trim available from GM in North America to fit the 2014 Chevy SS will also fit the Pontiac G8.
The 4 straight black upper door trim strips to suit 2014 Chevy SS also fit G8, but are priced way higher in USA than in AU.


See the Yellow Arrows.
These are the 2 new long black curved gutter pieces you buy yourself from GM in North America.

Dang Paul, I think that looks so much better. I really wish I could afford this and the non chrome door handles as well.

Got prices for the black gutter trim from my local GM dealer yesterday..$125.00 each. CP has them cheaper but..the cost to pack and ship them is another story. He said get them from your nearby dealer. I have my trim in primer and going to coat today (2nd time)..will see how it comes out. If I no like I will be ordering a new pair. Parts dude at Todd Wenzel said 2/3 days special order (of course).

[bryand]

Hmmm.....$125 each is not a bad price for those, considering you eliminate the shipping.

CP,
Any clue if these new gutter trim bits are manufactured by GM? Just wondering if these are higher quality than the ones I got since initially Holden made these but eventually outsourced them to China (which was what I bought). No issues with my gutter trim other than some cosmetic mis-alignments.

I forgot to look on the labels where they were made. All the Part Numbers would have changed 2 or 3 times since you bought yours and it's hard to know which subcontractor makes anything these days. Yes the first Chinese made lot a few years back were on the sub-standard side and they hadn't perfected the pouring or molding of the rubber onto the stainless steel. The few I've seen recently definately look tidier on the inside.
