Muncher Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Not sure if that's the exact term for it but I want to remove this chrome peice and switch it out with a black one. I'm told it's just screws or bolts holding it in. Anyone know where I can get just a plain black one and also what the chrome is worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 You’ll need 87-90 Renix ones hat came in a different color. Black ones are a little hard to come by. There may be one of the two as NOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know a lot of people like the chrome and would hate to have to paint over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 they are hex head screws that take (I think) a 9/32 socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Chrome trim in good shape is a bit tough to find ESPECIALLY around the corner marker lights. I’d try and keep them chrome and sell them if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strictlyxjs Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Pretty sure those strips are stainless steel not chrome. You should be able to sand them and paint them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I imagine shipping those things might be a bit of a challenge. maybe a super long cardboard tube? abs tube? as for a black one, gotta find the yards that have the older Jeeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shipped a center console before so it wouldn't be to weird. Think I'm just going to paint it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'm just going to paint it though In order to sucessfully paint those pieces, (which are made from stainless steel, as others have pointed out), you will need to scuff up the surface a bit to get good paint adhesion. A "Scotch Brite" pad works really well. Unfortunately, that would make them less valuable if you decide later to sell them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
