well if you take the trim off you have to do some interesting body work cus there's a ledge that will just kinda chill.......

i know. just curious what it will look like. i can buy a attachment for a hammerdrill that will flatten that area out. wonder what the rivi will look like without them?

Maybe you could paint to trim black?

eh........ maybe if your riv is black otherwise it would look funny

maybe? problem is, the front left is trashed ,along with the rear left. r, front, r, r, are also dimpled and kinda crooked. i cant find the trim anywhere? gm? discontinued. junk yards? nobody has em. thats why im thinking of taking em off! we will see! yeah ,bk trim would look kinda funny on a wht rivi.

It wouldn't look funny if all of your chrome parts were black. I think it will look a lot funnier with no trim at all.

not if i flatten out the area! thats what im planning. if i cant find the trim. i can add a formed metal arch to the trim area,roll the edge,and lightly fill in,and paint. i think it would look great. a first! for a rivi. a family friend has a hot rod shop,maybe i can bribe him with a couple of 24 packs of bud light? this guy has a english wheel and everything!........ btw,i saw a (no lie) a 745 BMW with that kind of paint scheme,black side mirrors,blacked out chrome all the way around,high gloss black rims on white body,it was profesionaly done for sure,but it just looked....i dont know...out of place. im sure the owner thought it looked ..dope! a two tone rivi with ROLLS ROYCE midnight blue sides ,a thin black line following the rivi lines,with silver hood and trunk lid is what im planning sometime in the future.....

Idk... my dads caddy is white with black trim. It looks pretty good IMO.

Here's mine with the trim off. Might actually look good if you ground away the inside flange. Would be a little tricky to match with the rocker and bumper mouldings...

neat! the car looks ...somehow much fuller. a little more agressive. a totally chromeless riv,would be a first!

I dont like the trim myself either, but you can get replacement trim -either new or used.

new its like over $100 and its kinda hard to find used, but they pop up on ebay (ed morad's shop - you can email him to but if its not on his ebay shop he probably aint got it in stock). I picked up 2 off here for about $60.
Just check the parts section everyday - they usually go quick.

ok. i found the trim,just waiting for it to be shipped. thanks!

Btw, the trim clips are one-time use and easily break when removing. To find extra clips:
