Exterior Chrome Trims

What Are Exterior Chrome Accessories?

Exterior chrome accessories are decorative and protective trims installed on a vehicle’s exterior—door handles, pillars, mirror caps, grilles, and more. Built from durable, weather-resistant materials and finished in high-quality chrome, they add sophisticated shine and subtle protection against daily wear. Thanks to model-specific designs and pre-applied 3M automotive adhesive, installation is straightforward and reversible when removed correctly.

Because many base trims omit brightwork found on premium packages, chrome accessories offer an OEM-plus look without the OEM price. See what fits your vehicle in our Exterior Chrome Trims collection.

Helpful FAQs

Do chrome accessories fit my vehicle exactly?

Yes—OMAC trims are model-specific. Confirm your year, make, model, and body style before ordering in the collection.

Will they damage paint if I remove them later?

When removed properly (gentle heat, steady lift, paint-safe adhesive remover), the 3M backing is designed to come off cleanly without harming OEM paint.

Do they withstand weather and car washes?

Yes. Our chrome coatings are engineered for UV and weather resistance. Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before the first wash.

Can I install them in cold weather?

You can, but warm the panel and adhesive to improve bond strength and extend cure time.

Which chrome pieces make the biggest visual impact?

Front grille accents, pillar trims, mirror caps, and door handle covers usually provide the most noticeable change per minute of install time.
