Did you end up doing the door pillars? Mine have faded and got a little scratched up after sun baking for 2 years.
No, the car goes in for full paint correction and ceramic coating of the paint and wheels in mid-August. The detailer will protect those areas then.

Do you have a quote on that yet?
I was going to try to work in a deal with tint/chrome delete. This shop applied my XPel wraps.

It's a friend of mine in St. Louis that does otherworldly work, typically on the high end cars of the area. He's cutting me a break but the retail he would quote would probably be around $2000 or $3000. That's wheels off decon, coating under IR lights, paint correction, polishing the glass, etc.

For those who did it yourself.. where did you get the precut vinyl from?
This is who I ordered mine from (on ebay). It's the only ebay mod I have, and I haven't regretted it at all!!!

Also, watch the video (by Khrome Delete) on how to install. He makes it look REALLY easy. It's NOT as easy as he makes it look (he has tons of experience), but it only took me about 45 minutes to do my Coupe ... and it was my first time trying it.

Is a heat gun absolutely needed? Link to ebay chrome delete?

my Car wrap shop quoted me $250 as well to do the chrome delete.
Heat gun is not required, but I would HIGHLY recommend it.

I used jet's vinyl, but DON"T use precut vinyl. I should've listened to my friend when he told me just get a roll of vinyl.

The precuts give you barely any wiggle room, my shit is also already peeling off. Getting a roll you'll have ample space and you can literally just smack that shit on and cut it out instead of trying to force the precut vinyl to cover all the chrome

I paid $145.00 to get my chrome deleted I think this should have been done from the factory.
I got the front turn signals and rear reflectors smoked -tinted as wall
