I need the trim around the fender? help! - Hyundai Performance Forums

dacowgod · 03-13-2003, 08:00 PM

Hey all.... i have a 1995 Hyundai S-coupe LS...i had a couple mishaps..left my car with a few dents and bruises...but all is doen and all is repaired

.... xcept! one of the bruises was about an inch gash taken out of the black trim that goes around the fenders? ... This trim is not anything like the stainless trim i see everybody have... i cant quite explain how it is. Its basiclly has 3m adhesive tape on one side.. and it is probably 1/2 an inch thick and rounded it sort of reminds me of a door gaurd. Nobody around here seems to know what it is or where to get it.. I'm not even sure if its factory ... but it was on the car when i got it and i like it soo i need to get something close to replace it... I have a picture of my car.."its about 2 years old the car is COMPLETELY different ... " but it SORTA shows the black trim if you look really hard at the front fender ... you can see the pic at:

Thanks!

i'm confused... WHERE is this trim?

i have no idea where it is... but I'd say just take it ALL off and touch up underneath

IMO, trim ain't no gewd

lol i know the picture isnt the best..but it does go directly around the wheel well.. and you can sorta see how when the fender comes down to the bumper its roughly half an inch like the bumper is pushed on too far...thats actually the trim.... I'm not too sure about the touchup because my fender on passengerside sorta is warped... where they "fixed' the dents in it..and the trim basically makes it not noticeable.. but if i took it off i'd be in trouble..thats why i'm trying to find replacement..i dont want the flashy chrome trim that stretches halfway up the fender...just a 1/2 black strip basically thats on it to begin with..
thanks for the quick response!

there are wheel well trims that are... kinda big, I guess... and AREN'T chrome

they're basically primed and ready to be painted... minus... the primed part

i think they come in black, but you could have them painted white

they're about... 2... 2 1/2 inches wide... and would look a bit nicer, I think

I do like the idea of painting them white... it wouldnt be noticeable relaly and would give the wheel form and hide my lil warping issue

... any idea where to get them...the only ones i've found are stainless steel.. and i dont like the idea of painting stainless in the first place .. but other than they they look just too tacky

Well i posted this just a bit too soon i was looking and found exactly the trim i was lookin for from JCWhitney for 10 bucks

..thanks for reading though all and thanks for the suggestion jerkitt, i still might go with the painting the bigger trim white if i can find it preprimed..

thanks again!
