They're still available new? I'd be interested to see what they cost. I'll look at the parts fiche and get the part number

Unless yours are damaged, I wouldn't buy new ones ever. I took mine completely off, lightly scuffed them, spray painted them with dupont semi-gloss black, and they look like new! Once I took them off, I got all the old adhesive off and then used 3M double stick to put them back on. It's been over 5 years now, and they are still looking great and solid.

Let me add that the only reason I completely took mine off was because I repainted the car. If you're not getting the car painted, I would just scuff them, tape off on the top and bottom sides of the molding with newspaper covering the car pretty good to avoid over-spray, and shoot some new paint on them.

This is great advice for this thread! Removing them is a total pain to say the least.
