I know it is a long shot...

I have a 2013 F30 luxury line with chrome window trim. I would like to trade for black.

Willing to meet up and do the swap together.

Vinyl wrap it black?

That is an option!

If I can't do a swap I'll either vinyl wrap or plastdip myself and see how that goes.

BrundenBak · 02-05-2017, 11:20 AM

Bump ... worth a shot.

Let me know if you're interested in selling your chrome trim.

Interested. Do you have black to trade? Or sell outright? I think shipping may be prohibitive, but willing to look into it. Are you ever in the DC/NOVA area?

Don't know if you have done yet but removing and reinstalling may not be easy and good chance you could damage trim in process. Recommend wrapping.

Wrap it, best option by far. Did mine 2 years ago still looks great. !

Fine! I'll wrap it! ;-)

Any tips? I assume you left it on. How long did it take? I have plasti-dipped, but this will be my first vinyl.

Bump! One last shot before I go the vinyl route!

How much do you expect shipping to be to Chino, CA 91708?

bigdaddycane · 04-14-2017, 08:47 AM

go with the wrap. I have done what you're looking to do (on an E90) and its a PITA and not cheap. The lower door trim is such a PITA.

It seems wrapping is the consensus. I would imagine it's easier to reverse.
