    it's impregnated into the rubber/plastic compound, front and rear bumper can be replaced easily but the doors you'd need to replace the whole strip, may pull paint off the doors if removal isn't done carefully.

    i bought my set off ebay which is the 19mm wide chrome ones. not exact replicas but very close (perfect fit for the bumpers etc)
    however when i bought them i went and picked them up and spoke to the guy.
    he was in the planning stage of getting them made to be the exact same as the ones that came stock on cars.

    ebay company was Regional Auto Parts.
    eBay: Regional Auto Parts
    might be in a few pages to find the strips.
    EDIT: got the link here
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CHROME-MOULD-VN-VQ-VP-VR-VS-COMMODORE-CALAIS-BERLINA-/170803593536?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27c4b00140

    maybe give him a ring if you want to find out more.
