Ricky posted the link for shadowline.... I am going to order enough for my roof and maybe the chrome trim around the windows. If you are interested, then perhaps we can order together and save on shipping....
Still looking for places to do the applying of vinyl though...

My only concern is how much different will the vinyl wrap looks differ from the OE high gloss shadowline chrome. I don't just want the glossy but also the metallic light reflection. I understand the vinyl wrap is a quick fix (the cost is 10 times higher if I order the OE high gloss shadowline chrome, labour cost excluded...), but I don't want my car look like a Japanese car's finish, as seen today some of the Toyota (ES300, Estima, etc) is with glossy windows trim ....
Totally understand ya! Have a look at that DIY thread which Ricky posted as well... you can see the results!
