Anyone try the pre-cut vinyl wrap for the chrome window trim?

Never vinyl wrapped anything before but thinking it seems pretty basic/easy. Any pro tips on doing this?

Thanks

i plan to order a strip of tape, slightly wider than the trim itself, then use a razor style knife like window tinters use

Ended up getting pre-cuts for the window trim.. if it goes well I'd like to try the same on other things like the fog surrounds, luggage rails, and doors trim.

i am about to get mine done soon, fingers crossed.


i was told not to use the chrome or black chrome options for small pieces as they are too stiff.
this will lead to them peeling up on corners & edges.

i originally wanted the black chrome one :(

so i'll pick something else color wise for the chrome delete that i am planning on (as i dont want flat or gloss black)

I was sent the standard instead of XL when I bought the eBay BO kit. Ended up costing $7.95 after the exchange processed. I have a standard gloss black for sale if anyone wants it.

Stormin08 - Let us know if you go with the Avery and how it turns out. Waiting for warmer weather before trying to install my $7.95 eBay special

I've got a pre-cut kit showing up the next few days. I'll post a before and after.
First piece I tried didn't fit. Alignment was poor and there was overhang I would have had to cut off. Tried going around the back of the piece with a card and it cut the vinyl. Waiting on a response back from the seller.
