When you wrapped the window trim did you remove them? Or did you wrap them on the car?

Thanks, the tint is 15%. I left the trim on the car. I heard it is very easily warped if you remove it. Tedious but overall simple.

Did you cut the vinyl at the edge of the trim, or did you overlap the edge and tuck it underneath?

That is what makes it tough. You have to do a little of both. If you cut it too short, the chrome is visible, cut it too far the other way and it wont tuck enough to look clean. I wasted lots of material cutting too short, revealing the chrome. Especially in the very rear Fat chome pieces.

I"m surprised it didn't turn out more glossy as well, your pics make it look matte black but then again they also make your ride look orange
I used the same products two weeks ago when I did mine, used 6 coats of gloss black and either 7 or 8 coats of clear, I lost count but it came out pretty glossy, I'll try and post pics sometime this week. Love the trim though man!
