Rubber strips around car

[Blakie]

Hey guys sorry didnt know what to call them.. but the rubber strip around my car is fairly cracked and isnt looking too good, i can pull some of it off fairly easily this doesnt seem like much of an issue. When i bought the car it had one door with a silver metal strip instead and looks alot better, i was wondering if anyone knows where this can be bought and price etc.. help would be appreciated

heres a pic of the existing metal strip sorry its taken in bad lighting and on my phone

metal strips around front and rear bars are calais items, and are not a part you can bang on your current bars. they're a completely different bar.

to get the black **** off, use a caramel wheel. it's a disk about 3" across, made of rubber like material. put it in your drill, and rub the sikaflex off.
it's gaurenteed to get it off, but be careful not to burn your paint - just don't hold it in the one spot for too long. no idea where to get one from though, but they're pretty expensive, so maybe your best bet to talk to a paint shop

i got my caramel wheel from an auto paint supplier, cost like $15 for 2
best thing ever to get that sikaflex sh!t off if u have 2pac paint, not arcylic tho...
