Default Show your wrapped window trim!

I'm gonna attempt to wrap my trim this weekend and want to see others who have done this. I opted for 4D CF and it is tougher to deal with but I've wrapped things with it before and have some tricks up my sleeve haha. Here is a quick and photoshop of how it should look once done. Let me see yours!

Here is mine, If I were you I would also do the B pillars so everything is the same.

I would keep B pillars gloss black as they are since they still match your mirror covers and door handles, and visors for that matter, better. If you didn't have any other gloss black on the car then I'd consider making everything match with the CF. Personally I like the B-pillars as they are in the glossy finish they currently have (with minimal orange peel).

I already started and am keepin the pillars black. I do have CF wrapped door handles and rear spoilers but still think the gloss black pillars look better as they are.

Excited to see the end result and your experience doing it, as well as tips and tricks. I, like you, have CF wrapped door handles and spoiler (and roof and mirror bases too) so I would love to copy your mod if it comes out great and isn't too much work!

Nice and thanks! I already started yesterday and it's actually not too bad. I stopped though and pulled what I started off because it's raining starting today for six days straight and I'd rather do it when I have two or three days of sunshine before it gets wet. I plan on starting it up again this weekend.

Thanks all for the trim pics! Love each and every one of them. I had to put it on hold after I started due to it raining and then supposing to rain all week long. I'll pick it back up this weekend and now can't wait to have this finished. Keep the pics coming!!!

How are you doing it tho? Just curious one big piece and then trimming off or are you using multiple pieces of vinyl?
