Anybody good at applying shadowline trim? (GTA)

I'd love to cover my ugly chrome on my 06 330i sedan with shadowline trim - anybody in the GTA good at that? Obviously will pay if you can help with the install or know a good/reasonable shop that will do it for me. I'm not confident enough to do it myself.

if you mean wrapping it in vinyl, i got mine done at Shinzo Werks. They did a really good job. Not cheap though at about 200 bucks.. or maybe it was 160.. cant recall now.. its holding up well and its been about 8 months since i got it done.

I just ordered shadowtrim and going to give it a shot. LOL i mean whats the worst that can happen for 20 bucks... its doesn't work and it peels right off. I believe its worth a shot then paying 2-300 bucks

I imagine you have to first take the trim off ?

In one of the DIY's that I've read, it mentions that one of the pieces (corner one ?) is glued on, and it typically breaks when you take it of....
