I did it a few weeks back and it was easy, thought it may look a bit rubish but was amazed by the results. If you take your time and do it properly then it looks great.

You cant tell that mine is not real oem shadowline trim.

And its got to be easier than removing your trim to paint it.

very interesting. does this product really hold up in new england winter weather? looked @the site and saw application of gloss black to the roof of a car. gave a custom paint look. might make my silver/grey metallic 06 530xi stand out from the pack. hate to see cars that look like mine. what ya think?
