C Pillar Trim Replacement

[MisterLimey]

Hoping for some insight into the driver side C pillar metal trim I just received to replace one that is no longer fully attached.

It arrived bent, which means I will be returning it. But, it also appears to be silver instead of the gunmetal silver that is on our 2022 Stinger GT2.

Does anyone know if there is a different part number for the gunmetal color trim(s)? I was not even aware that this door trunk trim came in an OEM silver color.

I attached some photos but the part number I ordered and received is 87850 J5000.

Thanks in advance.

yes, the early 2.0T cars had silver trim instead of gunmetal. you can dig up part numbers on kiapartsnow.com after you select your car details from the pull down menus.

I've had mixed results going through KIA Parts Now. My last experience, replacing the drip rails behind the sunroof, gave me an unpainted one - I wanted an unpainted set - and one that was Ceramic Silver. They reimbursed me for the wrong part but not for return shipping, which is lame customer support imho. I replaced that drip rail by ordering through the KIA dealership parts department. And I suggest that you do the same with your chrome trim piece. That way if they order wrong - unlikely - they can reorder and you pay no shipping and handling charges, that's on them.

i'm not endorsing kia parts now, although i've not had any problems with them yet. But they do have a good parts catalog for the car, so you can take the part number and shop around.

Yeah, I checked out a couple of kia parts websites including kiapartsnow. Kiapartsnow has the best price when you factor in their shipping is only $11. Many other sites run by dealerships are $20 to $30 shipping which increases the price to almost MSRP, and I may as well go to the dealer. Thanks for everyone's input!
