You guys will probably laugh at me for this, but I wanted to add the chrome drip trim, and thought the price a little too steep for my taste. Long story short, I bought some flexible plastic chromed door edge in a 16' length, and used that instead. Looks great, and not one person has noticed it is not the real thing. The stuff has adhesive on the inside of the channel, and has stayed on for 2 years now with no problem, and still looks nice and bright. If it ever starts looking faded or funky, I'll just replace it with some more, 'cause the price was right, and it is a very simple install.
