Door striker covers

After being inspired to do this by others I picked up a set of four GM 13574802 door striker covers. (I had to buy four to get the best price.)
Anyway, I covered them in 3M 1080 carbon fiber look vinyl wrap film. Here's a few pictures through the process. Forgive the nasty car. I'll probably sell the other two on Flea bay to recoup some of the $11.

Did mine last week in black gloss vinyl, no carbon fiber on the car so the gloss matched better...

It's amazing just how much a little piece of plastic improves the looks of that bright silver striker base.

I am still wondering in my mind why the heck these Camaros didn't come with this little 2 cheap pieces of rubber... I ordered them as well just waiting for them to arrive.

Any part that goes on a car has to be approved through the financial section of engineering that Deals with budget. They sold about 70k Camaros in 16, so say 35 are SS or 2LT, so x 2 strikers is 70k of parts they saved....usually when the product/financial guys are arguing, it's always "you can have this, but then you can't have that"....always a trade off.....

The Cadillac gets the extra garnish because it's their highline product.

If you google the part number, GM 13574802 door striker covers, you will get a number of hits. Received mine last week from ebay. They do add a nice little touch to the finish.

Yes agreed. Can't have those Cadillac owners saying "why do the camaros get these striker covers too?"
