The trim looks great. Excellent work.

Amazing job! What tape did you use/Where did you get it?

[Satalite]

Nice! I just bought myself some vinyl tape too. How did you do the corners?

[lewis]

thanks, I use the vinyl from the sign co.,cost me $15 , I cut them into 2inches strips, I started from the side mirror to the back window, I use blow dryer to heat in up and stretch it.

do you think this black trip match my black performance wheels?

[Satalite]

I am going with gloss black to match my gloss CF and gloss Grill

For the corners do you just stretch and slowly stick down and move a little at a time?

[lewis]

for gloss black vinyl, you can not stretch too much cause the glossblack will become matt black. For gloss black on the corner, you must cut a bigger piece to cover the corner, the top trim you may need to do it in 2 pieces.

Sounds good, be sure to post photos. If you purchased from bmwshadowline.com you should take before/after shots and send them to the shadowline site. You will get $10 back if they post them on the showroom.

Yeah there is some excess. It's been a while, but from what I recall it was enough for maybe the lower portion of the windows. I wouldn't use too much more than a foot for your testing, just to be sure. I wish I kept mine cause now I want to vinyl wrap the silver on my steering wheel trim.

[Satalite]

Okay thanks. I ordered the 4" so I have lots of room for error when cutting and laying it down. I only need 4 inches to mess around with.

I'm going to pursue the gloss black as well just because it will match the gloss black window divider piece as well as the gloss black paint on the side view mirror.

+1 I like the gloss look a lot more for my AW than the matte black look.

[Satalite]

Put it on today and didn't like it... Took the time but I just think it looks shoddy and non professional. Might be going with trim pieces instead.

Satalite, could you maybe post pics for example

Sorry forgot to take pics before I took it off... I still have a good bit left of my 4" gloss black. Went with a 2" strip cut down the middle but application is tough.

All in all I'm too picky for this stuff!

I took mine to sticker specialist And they put on some glossy black tape and it's 100% good.

Thumbs up for paying for those who make it for day job
