Plastic Trim around wheel wells
Does anybody know where I can purchase the trim that goes around the wheel wells? Mine are sunbaked and dried out. Look terrible. What are they called?
Also, anybody know if they are easy to swap out?

Take yours off, clean them really good with a rag and alcohol, and paint with Krylon paint for plastic. A couple of coats front and back so they don't peel in the carwash and you should be good to go. Mine were repainted before I got the truck but i don't know what kind of paint was used. I've used the Krylon on some other plastic parts and it seems to hold up well.
What is funny, is that the last few days Ive been thinking of making this same topic. I saw where they were for sale, but didnt want to pay that much. Thought about painting, but not sure what to use.
They do look terrible as they are, all four are bad. And its only an '03. Every one that we looked at but one (was garage kept) looked the same way.
Ill take them off someday, just not today.

I heard of some stuff called BLACK WOW? You'll have to google it because I saw it on another land reover website a while back. I actually need some too I was waxing the rover yesterday and they looked like ****. Someday I'll get to it.

Disco2Guy did his with Boot polish, it does not last "forever", but its def better than the "normal" car products for trim out there.
Did mine about 3 mths ago, only now after LOTS of mud, probably 15- 20 jet washes is it starting to show through again.
Imo, painting them is a big no no unless its done professionally, as a DIY job will never look right.
