Finally got to black out my window trim!!!

I ordered a bunch of matte black vinyl from sticker city and did it myself.. It was actually really easy.. I did the driver side only for now.. passenger side tomorrow!

This and the headlights are the last thing to black out on mine!.. they do make gloss yes. And I did not take off the trim to wrap it.

I got 24" x 48" but I really wish I got one size bigger.. you end up using allot more than you would think because on the curved parts you don't want to have to bend a thin strip, you want to cut a piece that covers the whole area and trim it to the curved shape.

any really closeup pics to show the finish and how nicely it attaches? So do you just stick the vinyl on and cut with a blade or something along the chrome?
Also, where'd you order from? Thanks.

Or, you could cover the B pillars for a more uniform look.

And it looks really good.

looks real good, I got mine done by a shop but he didn't do it so well around the bends, I might have a go myself.
