BMW F22 Shadowline Trim ordering/install
So I have been deadset on getting rid of my chrome window trim on my f22 and replacing it with the high gloss black one. However, I have found it was very difficult to not only get the part #s, but the price is pretty steep too. I was quoted this
https://gyazo.com/7cd88c3392f557d44619dd65e8900439 I tried finding all the parts on my own and came to a total of $962.47 with sales tax/shipping, but no labor. My question is how expensive you think the labor will be? I can probably do half the trim myself, but just leave the rear window piece to them. Anyone ever done this/know what I'm talking about. I just don't want my labor to double the price of this or anything retarded. PS Also would this be a good time to get my window tinted too? Does anyone know if that little rear window has to be removed for tints? |

Would rather get the real deal. I have heard that some people who have wrapped it have been disappointed/had to replace it. I may be convinced if I saw some photos of a good looking wrap.

Additionally, I have a quote in hand from my dealership and the total installed was $799. Remember, this was for a cab and I have more pieces than the coupe. Here is a scan of the quote. Last edited by OpenAir; 02-27-2016 at 05:18 PM.. |

I have one of my cars where I vinyl wrapped the chrome trim and had no issues, 2 years and counting. I also know of people who used plasti dip and that thing holds up really well. May be the best alternate route, and with plasti dip, you can peel it right off.

Vinyl is the trend now. more colours, more options. Just make sure to get reputable brands like 3m, avery etc... and you're good. I suggest professional install even if you think its a simple install. The amount of heat and stretch is key to a good wrap.

It's only a $40 blow if it doesn't look good anyway
