No, those are even, but in that last pic they're reflecting the sun which makes them look like they're standing out.

I am a OEM kinda guy. Biggest reason I went with OEM was the way it fit at the top of the quarter window.

This Chinese window trim is a stick-on type.
I'm afraid that it might fly off while I'm driving on the freeway, and hit another car through the windshield like a spear.
Especially if the car was sitting on the sun in a parking lot for hours before driving on the freeway, and the glue softened.
Otherwise I would go for it probably.
My Mustang is oxford white, but my old mazda is also white and has chrome window trims.

I know it looks really nice, I was considering it too. I might still use it, if there is a proof for its strength and reliability. I would not get the $2500 one, so the Chinese one if it is guaranteed safe, or nothing.

I'm an engineer. We dont use glue for any structural things, only mechanical fasteners made of metal.
As I said, if the car sits in a sunny parking lot in a southern state, the glue can get heated to 170F, then most of it's strength may be lost. Even certain plastics get soft that you can re-form them by hand (using gloves). In hot condition, it can slowly detach from the surface. At this softened or detached state, a little 80mph wind on the freeway could rip it off. Unless the 3M tape is rated to retain lets say 90% of its strength up to 170F. Which type of 3M tape is on it? A high-temp variant? Does it have short term (seconds) temperature tolerance, or long term (hours, repeated daily) temperature tolerance?

It is all about the prep. the main reason why side scoops, quarter window cover and rear louvers fly off is because people do not clean the surface properly (this includes any type of cleaner material). 3M Tape will not bond to a surface cleaner like Windex or some quick detail wax.

Love the way it looks on magnetic, especially with silver wheels. It was the first thing I did to my car.

@buenoshun, my kit came with adhesive promoter as well as 3M tape. After cleaning, prepping, and applying the promoter, my trim stuck like you wouldn't believe. I don't think I could get it off without a hammer and chisel.
