Window Trim

Looking to change the Window Trim on my 2007 335 coupe to black

Called BMW and they're saying the 2010 shadowline trim which is standard on the coupe sport package will not fit

Thinking best alternative is to do a vinyl wrap...Any shops located near Queens trusrworthy of doing this job? Willing to drive a reasonable amount

Any other suggestions on how to get this changed?

Would love to get this done, have removed all other chrome / aluminum for black (black grilles, black bmw emblems, black 335i lettering etc)

Check this for the part numbers that you need to replace. Once you find the p/n go to getbmwparts.com and search by part number.

Call detailing dynamics in Mineola... They did mine for me. Cost you as much as just the trim, not installed. My Vinyl has not lifted atall since the summer.

Matt Is a Prooo... I had arrangements with him. But it is a fair price for his quality. He could prob. do it while you wait in about 2 hrs.
