Shadowline trim ...

Youngsta · 11-19-2008, 06:15 AM

i want some shadowline trim for my car and was wondering whats the best way to obtain it ... i know that i can get a shop to put vinyl over the stock trim but i also know that one of the vendors is making matte black trim that replaces the stock one ... what do you guys suggest i do? want to save as much money as possible haha for other mods of course XP

See if anyone would do you a swap, im sure someone with black trim might want to swap with chrome.

There is a DIY on here showing how someone else did it

But if i remember right, once you take off the chrome trim, its not reusable. I was planning on this as well but then that little note stopped the whole thing

isnt the oem shadowline trim like 800 dollars or somthing like that?

Nope, take a look on here somewhere, someone did a straight swap there is a diy with lots of pics.

more like $950 - $1000. go to getbmwparts.com or PM Jason or Evan from Tischer. They're the only ones that carry this OEM piece.

edit: correction, $780 for the matte and $1025 for the gloss.

why is it soo expensive!!!!!!!!!!

stimpy · 11-19-2008, 04:58 PM

no kidding. A vendor can easily make this piece and make a TON of money off it.

I'd rather a vendor make this than another damn cone filter, exhaust, etc.

awei130 · 11-19-2008, 05:00 PM

it's pretty expensive to replace the whole thing.. id suggest ya to either vinyl it or find someone who's willing to do a swap

We are working on a vinyl overlay for you guys that you can use to cover the OEM trim. We are just in the process of test fitting and should have more info soon

both trims can get creased during uninstall, so they might not be reusable, speaking from personal experience X2 here

brandon @ eas · 11-20-2008, 12:24 AM

I can install the vinyl trim for you for $120. Ive done 100+ e92's so I have some experience

Deda · 11-20-2008, 04:49 AM
