Has anybody added the chrome trim with something aftermarket and it look decent? I want to add some but it's hard to pay $140+ for Oem. I've seen different listings on eBay but you can't trust everything you see on eBay.

The ones I've seen on eBay are stainless steel.... I believe. If they are, got to believe the quality to be up to par.

I used 3M ABS chrome molding as Vortecmass suggested. Came out pretty well.

I bought the ebay ones for my 08 tahoe and it was a terrible piece of stick on chrome rolled up. immediately ripped it off after application. I ended up getting the Denali/Escalade bumper with the different step pad that has a clip on chrome trim that is factory.

Your welcome and Thanks ;):) !!

To prevent getting dirt between the bumper and the chrome trim, I added a thin layer of transparant silicone on top (between trim and bumper). (type of silicone that you use to seal windows or in bathrooms). Seen in the last picture
