Black exterior window trim

Does anyone know if it is possible to get black window trim for a '14 GL450? I've been seeing it around on GLS's but haven't been able to find it for a '14.

I attempted to vinyl wrap it myself but ended up being a much bigger project than anticipated as I seem to be somewhat of a perfectionist.

You can definitely get them but it will cost a pretty penny. They belong on the midnight edition GL. Cheaper to get them vinyl wrapped professionally.

Just searched around quite a bit and didn't see anything about a "midnight edition" GL. That looks like it's a Chevy term.

I had my window trim wrapped with black vinyl by a professional and it turned out perfect! I was skeptical at first, but was very pleased with the result. This was on an E63 though.

Night package trim.

However yes vinyl is cheaper, no concerns from my side when I wrapped ours.

Like others have stated. Wrapping the window trim is easy enough if you take it to a shop. I black out chrome window trim pieces every day without any issues. The only real reason buy factory replacement trim pieces would be if you needed it absolutely 100% perfect.
