Get a can of Krylon flat black spray paint and mask it off REALLY GOOD. Just take newspaper and some masking tape then go to town. I'd sand it a bit first though...like a 400 grit then a 800 grit after the first couple coats
I wouldn't risk taking it off. I think it's glued on or something

This is an old arse thread, wow.
Just take your wiper arms off, it only one bolt. Through them on some newspaper and paint bomb the suckers.

usually the trim pieces have like 2 screw on the back then pop off...and if you don't want to use a razor to get any overspray off...steel wool works the best

i had a simlar problem with my trim on my eg, but it would be faded black, and not so good looking. i popped off the pieces that would come off (to reveal a but load of leaves and crap) and just simply hosed em down, and then painted them with basic black primer, nothing fancy and it did the job great, and if i felt bored, i would use clear coat on em, dont know if i used enough to make a difference though.

The wiper arms have some locks on it where it snaps in. When you take the bolt off...take a flat head screw driver, and pry it off. Take your time and be gentle...sometimes you can just wiggle the F*ck out of it until it comes off.
