Trevor,

Thanks for your patience and the opportunity for your business! I have verified the part numbers as matte black shadow line trim (not the high gloss black) and have attached a price quote for my best ?internet price?. If you choose to order them we do require prepayment and I hope to hear from you soon!

You should see how much the high gloss shadow line trim is, you will have a hart attack

Oh yeah, high gloss is $750-850 easy. There's a reason I just wrapped my trim in gloss black vinyl

djdc78

if i end up pulling the trigger, will have a shadow line set available for sale.....thanks.....

price check with tischer bmw/getbmwparts.com as well....

I think trinity autosport also sells shadowline trim, I think their price is $220, might be wrong tho

E60ROCKS

yeah he gave me a guote for $850. Hows the vinyl wrapping does that come out ok?

pjinca

vinyl wrapping for me came out better than expected. Some member here stated concerns that the vinyl wrap had bubbles and that it didn't come out as smoothly as they would like. So I talked to my wife's coworker - the one who does vinyl wrapping for their customers, he told me that yes there will be bubbles, but nothing a little patience and a needle can't take care of. Also, since you put vinyl on a little at a time there are ripples in the vinyl when you first complete the covering, he said this goes away in a few days after it goes through a few heat/cool cycles - he was right.

i'm in MN so i'm worried about the effect snow would have on it but i wouldnt mind going that route for now is there any diy on that i have never really wrapped vinyl i dont know slighted idea how i would proceed or do u think it would be better to have it painted?

just did the vinyl wrapping and for the price it came out awesome. $20 compared to $200+

Try shadowline-tape.com That is what I used. They carry tape and vinyl. I ordered the tape, because they said it goes around the corners so much easier, and it did. I tried the vinyl a couple years ago and had a lot of problems.
