Blacked out my window trim

BoostedE90 · 06-23-2011, 12:28 PM

The process wasn't as bad as I thought. My friend has done a few cars and helped me out. The only pain was the the back section where it gets a bit wider and turns down. When we were done there were definitely a good amount of bubbles but we used a small pin to get the air out and then let it sit in the sun. Almost all the bubbles came out. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

Sorry for the BlackBerry pics...

I just did the same to my car. Love it. Also changed the chrome grill to matte black and have ordered 20 inch wheels for it.

I got my vinyl at bmwshadowline.com

I procrastinated about doing it cause I was afraid to I'd screw it up. It's not bad at all just take your time. And the the pin trick is very useful with bubbles you can't push out. My friend had some vinyl left over from when he did his IS. He got the vinyl from his brother-in-law who owns a graphics shop. But as kymedic25 mentioned get it from bmwshadowline.com.
