Trim wrapped with glossy vinyl

Metro · 06-07-2011, 07:24 PM

A couple quick shots of my car with the glossy black vinyl on the exterior trim. I really love the look of the car with glossy vice matte. Sets me up well for my new glossy black grilles and soon to be installed Mtech front

That looks awesome! I wonder how he got it not to wrinkle on the curve towards the rear window?

heat gun/blow dryer is a must and patience. It's really all about getting used to the material and knowing how pliable it is

That looks great, x100 better.

ibeclueless · 06-08-2011, 06:24 AM

looks nice

JawjaDawg · 06-08-2011, 07:05 AM

Looks like you did a super clean job, real nice.

I know most people prefer the black trim but there's just something about chrome trim that catches my eye.

The gloss makes your car look great though, awesome work!

looks great.

Keep us updated on the air bubbles if it goes away. I might have to get the matte version instead.

Arwidrh · 06-08-2011, 06:30 PM

Looks great. I saw you didn't take off your trim. Did u use some kind glue on the edges. I think I gonna try to do it by my self

Metro · 06-08-2011, 07:54 PM

Left the car outside in the sun and heat all day and the bubbles are dissipating nicely.

Just to clarify, XYR03 did all the work - I just sat back and watched it happen.

Nice work, looks great.

edirtaynine · 06-08-2011, 08:50 PM

damn now i dont know if i want to do glossy or matte

Looks like OEM Shadowline - gloss is definitely the way to go. If BMW still refuses to replace my faded chrome trim then I'll be doing thiss for sure. Hell, I'll probably be doing this anyway.

Bubbles all gone - guess the crazy heat and humidity was actually good for something. I'm super happy with the new look
