I specifically need part #51132695282 (rear passenger) http://www.ecstuning.com/ES77807/

I would also be willing to buy the whole trim package.

If you are selling or are aware of any parting out ZHPs with it intact, let me know.

I've been looking for one for 3 years... One day I'll foot the bill for a new one. Good luck with your search though :)

I actually thought they were more than that. Has anyone tried (with success) to wrap or re-paint them, etc?

Mine snapped in two and is missing half so I definitely need to replace it. There is this option for wrapping - http://shadowlinetrim.com/ - as for painting, it'd probably take a stupid amount of clear to replicate this glossy effect.

Mine has chips on it and then the other side has been replaced with a sport package trim which is just black. One day I will buy a new set.

But IIRC I seen a set for sale on e46fanatics a while back. Worth a look.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to spray it black and take the time to refinish the other trim as well.

Yes there is one on sale on e46 fanatics but the guy stopped responding to me when I asked for pics of the back to see if all the clips were intact...

The clips are broken on mine and yes I tried to glue them many times but the trim will not go into its original position so every time i open and close the door it scratches the paint behind it and it puts stress on the clips breaking the glue apart. The other side just broke but only one clip so hopefully I can still fix that one... Not sure why my trim is so fragile. On online stores just the rear right trim piece is about $200 plus $100 shipping and about $300 at the dealership so I really just want to find a used one.

Guess I will keep trying to glue it until I come across a used set

I have an extra one that I thought I needed to replace mine but I just ended up repairing it. I'm not gonna be home for another week but I would sell it. It is in two pieces (but easily repairable). It is VERY SLIGHTLY faded if memory serves me correctly. Also, I don't think there are any clips attached to it so you'd have to use the ones from yours (I've had success gluing, I know others have not).

Edit: I also wasn't aware that there was a "gloss shadow line" in addition to plain black. The one in my garage may be just black.
