He said overlays. That means they put vinyl over the existing trim.

Thanks Nico!
And for anyone else looking to do this mod, you cant just buy any black vinyl off ebay, some are lower quality and wont bend corners as well as others. Nico should have a link to the exact same stuff I used, that I got off of ebay. The stuff is almost like paint, because it is so thin, and flexible, but has amazing adhesion strength, and looks amazing

any tips for doing this as a DIY?

also, any closeups around seams/edges, just to get an idea of how this may turn out, would be great.

i had great luck using the vinyl from BigT (T is for Tony and he is very helpful). i had it applied by a local custom/tint shop...they charged me two hours of labor and it turned out great with only one small seam on each side.

bigt's ebay link:

Man that looks good!!! I am definitely going this route. OEM replacement trim is way too expensive.

Is one roll of the vinyl enough? or do i need 2?
