Has anyone used the chrome trim kits?

Has anyone used the chrome trim kits? Specifically, I am curious about the kits by B&I and SES. How is the quality and the final look? My first inclination is that they look cheap and nothing like OEM. I thought I would ask though anyway. Thanks.

You mean like the ones you see on eBay all the time?
I have seen them in pictures on other peoples cars, but not in person. I know they're not for me.
As you'd indicated and since they go over the OE molding (covers,) they probably don't look right in person. These car don't lend themselves very well to chrome anyway, imo.
Chrome is for an old Chevy or Cadillac where it wouldn't look out of place. Just my opinion.

Thanks for the reply. To be honest, I would have preferred that Mazda justs tuck some chrome door handle son there. I think I am going to pass on these kits though.

I guess whether or not you like the look on a 6 would depend on whether you see it as a sports car or a sedan. I have owned a few sports cars in my life and the 2009 Mazda6 is definitely a lot more sedan to me than a sports car. I think those center chrome pieces on the doors would be too big though and over the top. I was just looking more for some chrome accenting.
