Shadow trim blackout done!

jasonle89 · 05-17-2015, 03:28 PM

Yea I did that. And if you can do the part where the side mirror connected to your door, that would be great. But it's super hard lol. I even wrapped the arms of my winshield wiper

Same here, door 1 was Okay but after door 2,3 & 4 I got better LOL! Door trim came out sweet! Now do that front orange reflectors and fender trim.

Did the Orange reflector as well...can see it in the 3rd pic. What is the point of adding the side reflector at the fender if there's no light there...what was BMW thinking lol

Oh ur right...I see it lol! I guess it's a safety issue. At night if u didn't have that reflector there you probably wouldn't see the car?

The orange reflectors are a result of a USDOT requirement and not because of a BMW design. I did wrap the chrome on my door handles and side markers, but went for smoked front reflectors.

Hey lsturbointeg that looks amazing! I've been wanting to do this for a while now and I finally have some time to do it now. What did you use in order to tuck in the vinyl to the seal? The top piece is giving my a hard time

BurrNinja · 12-19-2018, 03:25 PM

Plasti dip didnt last long for me. I want legit black gloss trim. Was in done on the car or taken off?

elkoqui · 12-19-2018, 04:08 PM

Would you recommend removing the mirrors? Not much space under them...
