I like the 3M tape, it holds really well. This trim will look like new through all kinds of weather. I Highly recommend this product and give it Five Stars‼️

I have been using Cowles Custom Chrome Trim for years. The quality of the Chrome and Adhesive is great. The trim is flexible up to a curtain point or you will crack the Chrome finish. Installation was easy. Measure three time, and apply once. Great DIY for cars and motorcycles. I just customized my Black Matte finish 2016 Honda NM4 in Chrome.

removed 20yo chrome molding on side of Ford Expedition. Installed easily, looks great

I bought this body side molding for two purposes: (1) Give my car a sportier look, and (2) protect my doors from minor door dings. It seems to be doing both. Installation was easy and after a month or so the adhesive is holding up well. I gave it a four-star rating because it is a bit pricy and we have not experienced extreme cold or hot weather yet. If it holds up well after a year or two, it certainly deserves a five-star rating.

I bought a used Ford F150 truck with chrome bumpers. Problem: the rubber trim on the front bumper was missing, leaving a series of ugly holes. I ordered this trim, as it is 3/4" wide and would cover the holes. I scrubbed the bumper with soap and water then took paint thinner to it to make sure there was no old wax etc. to stop the stick. With the backing tape still on, I measured what I needed of the (plastic) chrome tape, cut it off at each end on an angle to match the bumper, and peeled it a foot or so at a time as I stuck it down. I needed a small realignment in the middle, and was able to pull it back and redo. It went down nicely, and then I went back and carefully pressed it in place, using fingers, then pressing with the slippery backing paper to make sure and not scratch the plastic "chrome". I did this several times over the first few hours, and again after it had been on overnight. Bottom line - looks great. It appears to be part of the original chrome bumper and it remains thoroughly stuck down. I've had it on for a few months now, and have had it through the car wash a few times. No issues. We'll see how it looks after a couple of years (how does "plastic chrome" handle the sun?), but so far so good. One note: it's $20 for 12 feet, so be sure to measure what you need before you order. The price can add up pretty quickly. That said, it would make good anti-parking-lot-ding protection. UPDATE more than a year later. My truck is parked outside and gets the full blast of the Arizona sun every day. The trim is still looks excellent. Recommended!

I had none of the problems listed in other reviews for this product. The 3M tape adheres very well- such that you need to follow the directions carefully and not press it firmly in place before you are satisfied with the position. A tape line or other markers are strongly recommended. Be sure not to touch the sticky surface or the adhesion of the area touched will be diminished. The length advertised (12') was exceeded by the product received. It was actually 12' 9" in length. The product is nicely contoured to prevent side damage as when in a parking lot. It has a strong scratch resistant surface with a nice gloss that matches the cars paint (black) very well. The surface was blemish free in both rolls. A good sharp cutter is needed to cut the sections to proper size as the product has a firm density and is much thicker than the import brands.

This is an excellent product. After 25 years, the chrome molding on my 2002 Tahoe was looking a bit rough, so I bought this to replace it. It was a super easy installation. Just cut it to length, clean the surface, and place it where you want it.

The chrome itself looks really good. It looks like a factory style chrome that the vehicle would’ve come with. My only complaint is that the adhesive itself can’t withstand temperatures here in South Texas apparently. Even after prepping the surface correctly, make sure everything was clean. Make sure it’s taped down since it was curved towards the end of the chrome run, It only held up on that curve for about a week and a half then again this is Texas it gets over 100° so maybe the temperature is a factor but now I have to figure out how I’m gonna re-tack those corners down the actual straight run is fine. Makes me wonder what the difference between this and the ones from Temu or AliExpress are, I went with this, since it was namebrand.

Excellent quality for the price. Used this chrome trim to replace some damaged trim on an older SUV.

LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!!! Amazing product! I just finished using it to cover some ripped rubber on the bottom of my car windows. Actually, I was going to put it around the tire part (as shown) but changed my mind. You have to be careful as it adheres very quickly. However, it can be removed with a little effort. I cannot wait to purchase more. It looks shiny and provides great coverage.

Quality adhesive. Still holding.

super sticky glue, good stuff.

Looks like a Quality product went on easily and looks very good
