Question on the quality of Chrome aftermarket parts

I am toying with the idea of purchasing a couple chrome upgrades for my CX-5 (2013 GS, red).

I don't want to do anything dumb, but I think Red looks great when trimmed in chrome, so I am considering the following:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrome-Head...r-trim-Mazda-CX-5-CX5-2012-2013-/221125643044 (front and back lights)
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2012-Mazda-CX-5-ABS-Chrome-Front-Grille-Around-Trim/637825142.html (front grill)
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2012...ront-Fog-light-Lamp-Cover-Trim/630112631.html (Fog lights)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/chrome-window-sill-trim-Mazda-CX-5-CX5-/261004596615 (Window Sil Trim, may not do the lower)
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2012...rome-Rear-Trunk-Lid-Cover-Trim/765691305.html (Maybe trunk lid)


Anyways, I have seen parts all over the internet (google mazda cx-5 chrome trim).

Are the quality of these parts decent?
Is the 3M adhesive trim any good or will it be falling off 3 months after I install it?
If it DOES come off, can I clean it or am I going to be stuck with permanent marks?

Thanks for any info.
 
A lot of Chinese made parts come with crappy 3M tape. You can buy better ones yourself at a hardware or auto store. That's what u recommend.
 
I've never been a fan of chrome, and I usually do my best to remove all of it if at all possible. I actually don't mind the light trims though, it looks kind of good. I'm gonna be blunt here though - to me the grill looks bad, and that trunk chrome is truly hideous.
EDIT: The fog light chrome is also way too much for me.
