the vinyl that i used is made by Orafol and what i had to do was cut the vinyl in strips about 1 inch and 1/2 wide and and almost 7 feet long to do the triming for the pillars i used abou 12" by 2 feet most

Not bad. I don't like the chrome trim on our cars. Is it the pictures, or are the edges not that clean? I can't tell, but something doesn't look right to me.

Yeah I don't care for the chrome covered up, but it looks like the mirrors are smoked out. Are they smoked, or am I seeing things? Either way, the mirrors look good.

looks pretty good both way - haven't a lot of the sedan folks removed the black taping in the pillars to reveal the clearcoat on that area? i remember seeing a few of those around

Nice job Alex, this is one project on my list. Too bad we didn't think of this when I was down in FL.

I'm jealous, I prefer the chrome-free look. Props! Was it very time consuming?
