How durable and color-stable is the gloss-black finish?

The pieces are molded from ABS material and finished in gloss black to match factory trim appearance. ABS offers impact resistance and long-term dimensional stability when installed correctly, helping the trim retain its look through everyday exposure.

• No specialty tools required for standard install
