Notice how higher variants of vehicles have the chrome window trim? Unfortunately even the highest variant of the Vios does not have chrome window trim. This is a very affordable way to achieve the same look. Purchase some
chrome vynil strip (you can find rolls of these in car accessories shops.. in the philippines its available at Concorde stores for about P350.) The width of the strip should be about a centimeter in thick so you can get a OEM look, thicker widths is also harder to apply.
Step1: Make sure you clean the window trim first with a clean cloth and some water. Any form of dust that gets in will easily be seen.
Step2: Cut the edge of the chrome strip, so that it matches the angle of the trim and apply. Also, give it some space about 2-3mm from the base of the trim.
Step3: Pull the strip and line it up, make sure you've got it straight. Use a piece of cloth so you can slide it on easily and apply just enough pressure to stick the chrome strip.
Step4: As soon as you reach the end of the trim, use your fingernail to crease the edge, and then cut along that edge to get a clean look.
Step5: Peel off the protective plastic and your done! Repeat for all other doors.
Here are some photos of the finished look.
