How happy are you with the window sill trims and lower side molding? I've looked at a few on Ebay, but am uncertain of what the quality is. Are your window trims ABS or are they actually metal?

On an unrelated note, nice Santa fe! Do I see LED's in your fog lights? We don't get those in the US.
Best of luck

@RSASorento
The window sill trims are made in ABS by Autoclover and they seem to me very good quality . It fits perfect but you have to be very carefull when you put it becouse the doubleside adhesive is very strong and if you put it wrong you have small chances to take it down . They say that are triple plated with chrome . I don't know how this trims will resist in time but for now I am very pleased with the result .

The lower side molding is made in ABS by Mobis .Very easy to put (10 min.) and perfect fit.

The glass pillar plate moldings are made from some kind of plastic (I don't know what kind of material it is) , are flexible and seems scratch resistant.They are glossy and deep black. Perfect fit.Made by Exos (???).

If you need I can give you a link from ebay for this items.All these items are made in Koreea and provided by Koreean sellers.

Regarding the Santa Fe , yes it has LED DRL in the fog lights and it looks wonderfull. I work to put DRL to my Sorento but till now I didn't found a good solution.

Keep in touch .

@zubluntsky

Cool ! It looks great.
You should add some chrome fog trims to match with tail light covers.
The stainless steel side bars are just for look or have some utility ?

Keep in touch .

zubluntsky, That's looks great. Get that chrome bumper protector and set it off! I think it would go well with all the chrome you have. Oh, and the rear/front chrome skid plate too, I didn't think about that.

No the side bars are just for looks. I thought they were a nice touch. I looked into the chrome fog light trim but they all say that they won't fit the North American model which bums me out. I love the way the fog light trim looks. Hopefully they will come out with some that is compatible with my car.
