Vinyl Wrap for Chrome Trim
So today I made the final modification to my car. The chrome trim of my Luxury Line build was wrapped in 3M vinyl gloss. I love how it turned out. Total cost was $200 installed and this wrap will not have the other problems everyone else has had with the shadowline trim. Regardless, if you are thinking about it, do not hesitate.
Here are some before and after shots. I will get some better pics tomorrow.

I had black trim in my E70, and I always envied chrome trim.
Now I have chrome trim and I envy your black trim. How long did it take you?

It took the installer about 4 hours but he actually took the trim pieces off. He could have done in about 2.5 if he had just applied on the car but it may not have lasted as long.

I realized you got the high gloss roof rail, that makes a big difference in overall looks and helps blacking out the whole sides, nice job. Thanks for the new pictures.

Well.. It would look really cool with your new wrap, as long as it doesn't add another month to the job.
