Trim looks great! I'm sure it's been said before, but the shadowline really matches your wheels now. Got any before pics? I like seeing the contrast lol

hey gpaul
thanks for the compilment on the shadowline trim u know i did a lot of research on this before i went and found a shop that did it here locally in LA. it is a vinyl wrap, the process took about an hour for all 4 doors and it is like a strip of tint but thicker and more rubbery( vinyl)and he stuck it and used heat to make it stay and not come off. not sure if you can buy em pre cut or strips apart? do some research on google, type in don nguyen vinyl wrap and you will see a lot of his work, and also maybe you can email him and ask him where to buy it! good luck and hopefully i was a help for you.. thanks again.
