    No, definitely not OEM. I can forgive somebody for wanting to paint their car a distinctive or unusual color but those orange trim rings are ....well, if you can't say something nice...

    UGGGGHHHHH :yuck::yuck::yuck:

    I HATE that color,,,,, I was just thinking about ugly car colors earlier today and cannot for the life of me figure out why car makers would think that this ugly rust/orange color is attractive in any way..

    I see a lot of Chevy HHR's with that color and it makes me want to puke,,
    looks like a rusty orange.

    Did I say YUCK

    Notice the Florida license plate. Folks down there think that orange is the most beautiful color (except in the Orlando area where mouse gray is tops).

    You can't beat Florida Orange.....juicy color. :D

    But yea, those trim rings shouldn't be painted with the same color, which just ruined the whole thing. (Maybe too much leftover paint after painting the body.)

    Imagine if the OEM colors are also on the trim rings too.....yuck!
