I just finished putting the shadowline on my car today. I bought this tape from ebay. It ended up being electric tape that worked fine.
Here are before and after pictures.

Also I have an chrome trunk lid that I decided to "shadow" too

3m makes tape for this purpose. You put it on and then hit it with a heat gun and it gets all the airbubbles and folds out.

Looking at your pic's, the shadowline definitely looks better than the chrome trim. Matches your carbon-fiber roundels. Good job!
IMHO, I'm not a fan of truck lids...
