For those of us with JPS coupes, there is one feature that has bugged me as far as originality goes. The rear quarter windows do not have a chrome frame surrounding the window. Original chrome frames, if you can find them, are out of sight pricewise. In searching the web I found this video on youtube.
I ordered a 1x4 foot piece as was able to put it on my windows. Here are before and after shots.

This is one of the reasons that Henry does not build a coupe. Maybe we can talk him into it one day? Looks very good Puffy!
NICE GREAT VIDEO
Looks good and looks simple to use. Wonder how it would look compared to one of the chrome paints like this:
The problem with trim like that is the difficulty in manufacturing it. If you don't have giant presses to stamp out the metal, it's extremely tedious to attempt by hand. Even if someone did make them, the price would be extreme.
Very Kewl!! It's the little things that make a difference. Big difference!
Nice little detail to add! Looks pretty good.
Wow, Rob. I'm having some metal ones made at a local hot rod shop for my coupe ! He did some measurements and did a CAD program, he's test fit them so far they look great. I'll post pictures when there on. I beleive he has made several additional sets that he will put up for sale on this site.

Hi Chuck,
How much do they cost a pair, PM me as I am interested.
Thanks,
Eddy
WOW - that really adds a finishing touch!
Just installed a set of these frames on my coupe. They fit like a glove right out of the box and are a very nice quality. I called Posies (717-566-3340) to thank them for a great product and he said he still had a couple of sets left. Just thought I let you coupe guys know.
