    Anyone replaced the shadowline trim with the flat black 325 trim?

    My shadownline trim is falling apart, has weird discoloration etc and I'd like to replace it. Its $1k for the two sides though which seems like an awful lot of money for 2 pieces of trim... Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone had just slapped on the stock 325i trim instead. Its flat black instead of glossy, and can be installed for sub $300...

    Thoughts?

    How is it falling apart? The discoloration can be fixed.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    they are separating where the 2 pieces connect over the little window on the rear door. On both sides. Same thing happend to my old 325i. I think it must be the weather here--because I bought the car in Virgina and it was perfect. Within 5 months of being in Boston, it had separated... Car is garaged, but its still damn cold here in the winter....

    How can the discoloration be fixed?

    Thanks!

    Besides using a light polish I haven't found anything that would last..... What other fixes are there?

    I have yet to re glue the one rear door trim above the window, I just don't open that door for now
