If my shadowline ever ends up on your car, expect a visit from the VPD.... :-)

I would think a vinyl coating would be the answer.

yeah good luck with this, reality of it is even if someone is down to trade, at least one of you is going to bend/kink one of the pieces while trying to take it off

Hahahahaha. Damn so that idea's out!


Well even if anyone wanted to trade, as far as bending or messing things up goes my idea was to take it into the dealership and have them swap it over...

No takers yet... hmmm... any pictures of vinyl tape? I'd rather not use tape to make this happen...

its not like a strip of tape. Its a big sheet of vinyl cut out into the shape of the trim and tucked into all the seams. I spent hours doing it. and just vinyled the grills too. here

Oh wow, that looks pretty good.

How hard is it to tell from a close up and does it scratch with car washes etc???
