I was hoping to get some info on removing the chrome trim that's around the windows. Are there any special tricks to removing these pieces without damaging them? I've heard there is a special tool, but I'm not sure what it looks like. Any info or pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Oh ok, cool. Yeah, I've seen that tool before. Maybe I'll check to see if there are any videos on youtube for this sort of thing. Thanks

Borrowed the trim tool from a guy at the body shop. Trim came right off. All of my trim is pretty scratched up, anyone know of a good place to have it re chromed?

Most G-body trim isn't chromed. It's polished/clear anodized aluminum or stainless steel. Paul's Chrome can probably help. They're very good, but not cheap...
