[s-cars] sstl window trim

[Steve Mills]

Patrick-

The trim isn't stainless, it's aluminum. Unfortunately, on the cars I've
worked with, particularly ones from the NE/Midwest, in addition to the
finish being hazy they are typically pretty corroded on the inside where
they're pop riveted to the door shell. I'm planning to replace mine with the
black trim from an earlier car at some point, but it's a pretty big task-
the quarter windows need to be swapped out to match.
