Just spend the $200 and get the real stuff.
It will take you less time to install it than that crappy tape and you never have to worry about it peeling!

well, i look into ordering the shadowtrim, $200.00 for the trim, labor is either $125-$150!
it was nice that someone posted a thread about the shadowtrim tape because i spent $26.00 bucks and very happy with the results.
I posted this to help other members who dont want to spend $350 for shadow trim!!!
The tape stretches and thats the key to getting around the curves.
No one is going to go up to my car and ask "hey, is that shadowtrim tape?" Results are great!!!
