My Ride: 2004 545i - Bone stock... help!

The real deal is just over $200 from Garry, and it takes about an hour to install yourself, and is very easy (even I could do it, which means it's dead simple). 800+ for Shadowline trim and install?? You sure you don't live in Dubai? That's their price range! Well, just for parts anyway .

Ordered the tape from eBay since I found a eBay gift card the other day, Ended up only paying 90 cents. Let's see how this works, last try until I get the real deal.

Hope you'll be happy with the finish. I'd go with the real shadowline trim, but that's me. Good luck!

This stuff isn't very flexible, LOL easier using electrical tape. I'm in the process of finishing the trim, sure does look and hold better than electrical tape.
