I love the white bro. Check out my DIY for shadowline vinyl from a few weeks ago. It's not a great write up, but it gives an idea if you were interested in the vinyl option as well... https://5series.net/forums/topic/118...ine-vinyl-diy/
how has the vinyl held up? Are you truly happy with the results?

Am I truly happy? Yes and No. I love how it looks especially from a few feet away or more. Even up close, unless you know to inspect it. If you are looking at it closely, like I always do, I am not happy with it. Just being honest. I could have spent more time and removed more bubbles and wrinkles then I did. The issue is that the tackiness of the vinyl is so strong it is difficult to remove once you lay it. In fact when I removed a few pieces to redo, it left adhesive on the trim and I had to remove it before laying new vinyl.
I think thast eventually I will bite the bullet and buy the OEM trim and apply it. I don't want my $50k car to look like my Civic from college with all homemade DIY upgrades.
