Reasonably priced chrome window trim kit?

Hi there.
My 2018 GLC has door windows with the standard black frames. I like this look but my wife says that chrome ones are prettier (she didn't mention it when we were ordering it of course ). So, do you know about any reasonably priced trim kits that I could purchase to add this chrome look to my car? (the dealer's service estimates whole operation to be somewhere around 1000$ with parts and labor for few pieces of shiny plastic so thank you very much ). Any cheaper alternatives?
BTW, I heard that those chrome trim kits can get rusty. Is it true?

Wow!! Someone who wants to go from black trim to chrome. How refreshing. Most of the time I read and hear where people want to strip every piece chrome off their vehicle and replace it with black.
I'm with your wife. Just my opinion.....MB's are luxury vehicles and the all black trim look is less than luxurious.
