Aren't they black plastic on the first gen sedans? They are fading if this is the case, I'm sure.

I guess they could be faded but I looked at a few pics of black sedans on google and they looked the same as mine I just thought they made them a grayish color from the factory to avoid having two different shades of black but im probably wrong

There are some products out there like back to black by mothers that will shine the black trim. Looks faded like mine. Armor All or any kind of waxes fill fade the trim. But if you have the money i would get it color matched at a paint shop.

^This.

If you have the cash paint it. If not, some Mothers back-to-black does make the faded bottom trim look 100 times better.
