supra body help
 

I am having some trouble with my door bumper trim piece. The mettle plate in it has rusted causing it to bubble out. I pulled it off and I am just not quite sure if it is fixable. Could any one give me suggestions on what to do?

Here are some pictures of the damage.http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l4...2099/trim1.jpg

Looks pretty bad. That road salt did some real damage. I think replacement is the only way to go. The fasteners are completely rotted away.

Any ideas on a price, or a place to get a new one?

Try at your local Toyota dealership.

I dont know, but there is a link somewhere in the forums that has a list of the trim + pricing. That trim was the worst thing they could have put on the Supra. I looked for a long time for my car and every single one I found had massive rust from the trim area as well as the trim bubbling due to the metal trim inside. My car now has aftermarket trim (glued on I believe) with 100% rubber. If you go that route, pay close attention to the trim holes. They can rust as well.

Thanks for the info. You said you have rubber replacements? do they look the same and can I see pictures? And Il ask the dealer when I go to pick up my ks connectors.

I got a lot of pics in the post I started:

Scroll down about 5 pics and you will see the trim.

The front trim is still stock.

I found it. Looks pretty good, may i ask where you got the trim from?

You may, but I didn't do it, so have no idea. I am assuming any body trim specialist (the dealerships use em for pinstriping, etc...) would have a nice one. If you like I can take a close up shot to show its shaping.

Overall, it does away with the problem of dust building up in the metal strip of the trim which causes water to be absorbed and doing that old rust trick so common to this year.

Id like to take you up on your offer of the pictures. I'm headed back to the dealership tomorrow to pick up my ks connectors, so I guess Ill get some prices while I'm there.

Too late tonight to do it, but I will snap em tomorrow :)
