Sure did. The place I went to decided to do it without asking or charging me. I ended up loving it so I kept it

Looking into this, as I am not digging the brushed aluminum trim on my Tasman Green car. The dealership here in San Antonio quoted me $198/ea for the top piece on the front doors, $172/ea for the top piece on the back doors, and $116/ea for the four bottom pieces on all doors. That is $1200 all in, which is ridiculous.

Currently shopping for quotes for a wrap, as I just don't have the time in my day to embark upon the plastidip.

I used plasti dip. Cost me the price of a can and some masking tape. Happy with the results but you do need to read up closely on how to use it.

Here in SoCal, the going rate for wrapping the trim gloss black is around $150. I just bought a roll of 3M 1080 wrap and did it myself. Honestly, it was an ok job, not perfect because I'm not experienced but I had enough to also wrap the door handle trim and the side markers. Expect to spend at least 4-5 hours if you plan on a diy.
