Shadowline aftermarket vinyl

pardus · 12-19-2015, 04:10 PM

Hello,

I just got a new 2015 335i Gt, black and black and pretty much fully loaded. As inventory is pretty limited at the end of the year, couldn't find one that had the shadowline trim. Mine has chrome and really don't like it. My local detailer says he can do it for $400 but that seems way too high. I tend to do most of the work on my vehicles but never have done vinyl type stuff but seems with a little trial and error should be fine.

Has anyone tried this product? http://www.shadowlinetrim.com

It's primary purpose is blacking out window chrome and the pdf install sheet seems straight forward. A touch nervous about the trim with exacto-blade so close to the paint...

Saw a good tutorial on here about the grill and will try that too.

Anyone else covered their chrome trim? Is it better/easier to remove it?

I've used 3M 1080. It works very well, but requires a steady hand.
