looks great..this picture of yours is almost the deciding factor for me on matte black csl on AW...if you get a chance to post more pictures maybe a little zoomed out to see the full side profile of the car.. I think once you coat the front with black it would look perfect...What do you think of black side mirrors?

Whats involved with getting the vinyl on there? What steps did you need to take?

honestly, it sucked.. and we will see how it holds up.
But first i got a 24inch by 14 foot long roll of vinyl and cut it in half. Tapped paper together all along my trim to get a stencil of the long piece that goes from the front to the rear of the car, traced it onto the vinyl, cut out the rough shape. Then started applying it making sure not to get bubbles or rip it (take your time and dont rip it because you will be pissed off when you rip it at the very last section and have to start over ). then basically start cutting and tucking it to the trim

could you take the trim off the car and have it painted?

[AlBel1214]

^^^ Ahh yes def. doesn't sound fun... whered you pick up the vinyl? And the process just involves tucking it in? No substance needed to keep it stuck on the car?

[fmxomar]

from what i understand a portion of the trim is riveted on ? but i have no idea i havent seen anyone do it with a 1'er.

and no i didnt use any substance to put it on, just stuck it on cut and tucked.
i got it at a store locally you can find it on ebay though

Your car looks very stealth like the batmobile. I like it alot. Good job!
