Cowles Custom - Black Finish, 1 in by 12 ft, Premium Universal Body Molding for All Vehicles - Easy Install, UV Protected, Long Lasting Flexible PVC

Looks good. Good quality.

I purchased this "chrome" trim to replace some I installed years ago on my motorcycle and was losing its adhesion. My previous trim was similar but was a V shape in section, to wrap around the edges of my fenders. This trim is much better, is just a flat trim rather than the V shape. It was very easy to install. I clean up of the fenders with rubbing alcohol and doing the installation during warm weather also helped. Very flexible and followed the contours of my fenders beautifully. Very happy.

I had none of the problems listed in other reviews for this product. The 3M tape adheres very well- such that you need to follow the directions carefully and not press it firmly in place before you are satisfied with the position. A tape line or other markers are strongly recommended. Be sure not to touch the sticky surface or the adhesion of the area touched will be diminished. The length advertised (12') was exceeded by the product received. It was actually 12' 9" in length. The product is nicely contoured to prevent side damage as when in a parking lot. It has a strong scratch resistant surface with a nice gloss that matches the cars paint (black) very well. The surface was blemish free in both rolls. A good sharp cutter is needed to cut the sections to proper size as the product has a firm density and is much thicker than the import brands.

I bought this body side molding for two purposes: (1) Give my car a sportier look, and (2) protect my doors from minor door dings. It seems to be doing both. Installation was easy and after a month or so the adhesive is holding up well. I gave it a four-star rating because it is a bit pricy and we have not experienced extreme cold or hot weather yet. If it holds up well after a year or two, it certainly deserves a five-star rating.

Didn’t order carbon fiber but ended up with it anyway, good quality truck looks much better

Easy to install. Great price. Makes my side vents look like factory. Will buy again for sure.

Positives: The material has a nice finish and a wide, low-profile shape. Some "black" plastics can be quite gray, but this was a good black. The molding is made of very durable dense material. The adhesive was very strong. I cleaned the paint with isopropyl alcohol before applying the new molding.Negative: This molding is very hard to cut. It can be cut straight by hand with a utility knife or with tin snips. If you can find smooth-edge tin snips you can get decent curved cuts. I don't think good half-round end cuts are possible with a knife. I'm lucky to have access to a milling machine to cut the round ends perfectly.I have included a photo of my 24-year-old, rusty Ford moldings and one with the new moldings attached. Looks great. It was good that this molding is about 1/4" wider than the original, as some paint peeled off with the old molding. I used one package (16 feet) to do my truck as pictured. Virtually none left over!Overall, I am very happy with this product.

The media could not be loaded. The chrome itself looks really good. It looks like a factory style chrome that the vehicle would’ve come with. My only complaint is that the adhesive itself can’t withstand temperatures here in South Texas apparently. Even after prepping the surface correctly, make sure everything was clean. Make sure it’s taped down since it was curved towards the end of the chrome run, It only held up on that curve for about a week and a half then again this is Texas it gets over 100° so maybe the temperature is a factor but now I have to figure out how I’m gonna re-tack those corners down the actual straight run is fine. Makes me wonder what the difference between this and the ones from Temu or AliExpress are, I went with this, since it was namebrand.
