Chrome Trim Covers — Page 542

Chrome trim covers are decorative parts that mount over factory exterior and interior elements: door handles, mirror housings, door sills, rear bumper, grille, lights, and the trunk lid. Here, “chrome” describes the look, not the material: the DD Tuning catalog includes covers made of stainless steel, ABS plastic, black options for those looking for “anti-chrome,” and carbon. The material and mounting method for each item are listed in the product specifications.

What chrome covers you can find in this section

• Exterior handles and mirrors: door handle covers, mirror covers, door covers, and chrome moldings.
• Protection for areas that get scratched most often: door sill covers, rear bumper covers, protective chrome bumper covers.
• Front end and lighting: grille covers, headlight covers, taillight covers, fog light covers.
• Body and trunk: trunk lid covers, chrome fender arch covers, body trim covers.
• Interior: interior chrome trim covers – surrounds for the dashboard, air vents, and interior door handles.

Stainless steel, plastic, or carbon

The largest number of vehicle-specific items in this section comes from Carmos and OmsaLine—these are stainless-steel covers; OmsaLine is a Turkish manufacturer that works with Italian stainless steel, and its parts are known for precise fitment. Max chrome fender arch covers come in both stainless steel and black versions. Door sill and rear bumper covers from EuroCap, Esa, and Digital Designs are made from ABS plastic; Libao mirror and handle covers are plastic as well. For fog lights and mirrors, there are DDCarbon carbon covers, and a wider selection is available in the carbon covers section.

Stainless steel can be polished if minor marks appear. Plastic parts are lighter and follow complex shapes more easily, but coating durability depends on the specific product—use the material in the specifications as your guide, not the word “chrome” in the name.

How to choose a cover for your car

• Select the make and model in the filter: the product name shows model years and generations, and often the body type (Sedan, HB, SW)—sedan, hatchback, and wagon may have different bumpers, windows, and arches.
• For handles, check the cutout for a key, button, or keyless entry sensor; for mirrors, check the cutout for the turn signal repeater and camera.
• For vans, consider wheelbase as well as the number and type of side doors—short and long versions may require different kits.
• Count the pieces: covers are sold individually, as a pair, or as a set (2 or 4 pcs.)—what’s included is stated in the name. Left and right are determined from the driver’s seat.
• A cover is decorative trim installed over a functional factory part. It can hide wear within its coverage area, but it won’t replace a broken handle, mirror cap, or molding.

Mounting and installation

Most vehicle-specific covers are self-adhesive: the installation type is listed in the product specifications. Fender arch covers and larger parts may require sealant, clips, or other fasteners depending on the product. For DIY installation you’ll need double-sided tape (if it’s not included), a degreaser, and dry warm weather. A winter grille cover is a separate product: it blocks the grille openings rather than decorating the slats—look for these in the winter covers section.
