Of the 2, I bought the less expensive aftermarket ones. They do not fit tightly in the slot, there is some slop, but I think they look acceptable, and you don't notice that they wander slightly along the armrest.

Ricambi has the good stuff but if your wanting a quick job most auto parts stores carry the half round peel and stick. make sure surface is clean than peel and stick if your still having trouble put a little clear silicone on your finger and run it in the track where you will be placing the new give it a minute to set up than. put into place the new chrome.use some non stick blue tape for a day till it sets up .if the black arm rests are faded you can touch up with some "Doc Baily's" leather die and conditioner found at most leather and boot stores and harley sealers. make sure to tape off anything you do not want black ! it is a die and works great :)
