By the way how are you planning on doing this? Are you actually having vinyl put on professionally?

Ever consider buying replacement aluminum trim and painting it? I know the black is expensive but I wonder if the aluminum was too.

hmmm... actually never even thought about that. This would be excellent if its not too expensive. I might have to look into this option. Thanks man!

Main reason I haven't really looked into it is because I would worry about it flaking and chipping. Be nice if it worked though.

Well since its not actually Chrome, i dont think it would chip/flake at all as long as it was prepped and painted correctly.

Still not yet I was scheduled to have the vinyl installed this past monday but sadly i had no one that could pick me up after leaving the car there. He needed to have the car for a good bit that day b/c he was really busy with other cars he had to finish. We rescheduled so ill post the pics with my new Sony a700 DSLR next week sometime after i get it done.

Anyone have an idea where i could get this done in central florida?

Looks great with the viny tape. I have my concerns living in NY with the extreme hot/cold temps...
Was thinking of taking my 335xi to my local body shop and having the guy spray it semi-gloss black with a clearcoat on top. They work cheap, can't imagine it costing more and $300 total. Well worth it. If I do it, will post pics for all to see!

I have the factory semi-gloss black window trim on 04' 745i w/ sport package. Looks so damn good. I just hate that chrome s*#t! This should be an option with the sport package. I bet in 09 they will since the 08 m3 has the black trim!!!

Hey, now that I am thinking,,, since the new m3 has the black trim,,, is it possible to order that part from bmw and swap out the chrome? Will it fit?
Anyone knows the answer, let me know... curious
