Just ordered a set of the matte shadowline trim from a local dealer. The total comes to about US$500 delivered. I know it's a big amount over Garry's quote, but I don't have to worry about getting a wrong piece or a bented one. The delivery time is about 1 month. Hopefully it is worth the wait.

So, I bought the stuff off eBay. $20 bucks right? Big deal. So I spent the afternoon, (about 3 hours), very carefully putting the shadowline tape over my ugly ass chrome trim. The process was painful. Smoothing out bubbles, bending on corners, razor-cutting the excess. In the end I see that just a little here and there shows a glimmer of chrome on the edge in spots.

ITS NOT PERFECT DAMMIT. So I tore the whole mother-f'er off in a fit of rage last night and ordered Shadowline trim from Garry this morning for $205 bucks. Screw it.

Don't buy tape, it just causes stress!
I would have done the same
