if its a S4 you can buy spray cans of "Trim Black", SEM makes

stuff that when applied correctly makes S4 trim look like new.



if its S5 you can just use some spray cans of gloss black, no real

reason to go spraying all kinds of paint and clear on the moldings

because if it was that much of a issue you would have it done at a shop.

im not sure what its like on the rx7, too lazy to go outside and check.. but on my crx the black trim around the car is all faded, so everytime i clean the car i take some interior cleaner (armor all) and i go over the black trim and it gets it nice and black and glossy again, makes a world of difference. im guessing on the rx7 its a vinyl type of material too, it would most likely work.



if you use the meguirs interior cleaner it doesnt leave it oily like armor all so i like that better, but either will work.
