Sorry for not replying but I got sidetracked and you know how it goes. I did take your idea seriously and installed carbon fiber vinyl on my daughters Acura ILX. The pillars were showing a little sun damage so it was a good enough reason to try it out. The good thing about precutting pieces like this is that you can add a couple millimeters to the edges so that you can tuck the vinyl into the rubber. Here's a picture of the end result.

Why not offer these in flat black? I would buy those.

So I bought this back in June... now I am a wrench turning kind of guy but anything that requires minute detail takes me more time. It was a lot easier to install than I had thought! I don’t know why I waited so long!

Is it possible to take the chrome trim off around the door without too much trouble to wrap/paint it?

Pretty much impossible to do without bending/creasing the trim because it's held on with adhesive tape.

I was reluctant/skeptical about installing myself. You gotta try it though it’s so easy!

Someone buying on eBay told me that he learned about the product on a Youtube channel called 801 Garage. He installs it wet, which I've never done before but with no negative repercussions.

Thanks! Ordered. Saves me a lot of hassle.

can anyone explain step by step what you did to install? I tried and ended up stretching the material to the point where it just didnt work. Did you cut pieces of it off and put it on one by one?

Yeah I cut mine out individually & put them on one by one starting with the smallest piece then working my way to the largest piece. My install went well overall sorry to hear yours didn’t work out. I got quoted ~$300 just for doing the trim... I had some motivation after that lol glad I did it myself!

I did mine in one piece. Removed it from the backing about six inches at a time and lined it up with the bottom of the chrome and rolled it over the top. It might have helped that it was hot outside when I did mine.
