Side trim replacement

[gr8scott]

Although it is in good condition, I'm not a fan of black trim, and would rather have the red side trim I used to have on my 88 coupe. Am I looking at a difficult task that may not be worth the effort? If not, is this item available anywhere?

The mouldings on the door and rear panel are just snap on with the door moulding having a nut on the inside at each end. The moulding on the front fender is bolted on and you have to remove the inner fender to get at the nut. I have all the side mouldings in red but the problem you will have is finding good rub strips for the front and rear bumpers and finding them in good condition. I would suggest simply painting your mouldings. You would have to buy a pint of the exact matching color paint and then spray them yourself or have a body shop do it. You could remove the door and rear 1/4 moulding and remove the Reatta script and the chrome strips and then paint the rub strips and the front fender mouldings on the car and the side mouldings off.
