As much as I want to make the chrome trim black, I kinda wonder how the chrome trim would look wrapped white... might have to play with photoshop a bit. How difficult is it to get the vinyl off after it is on...?

Simple to remove, like pulling electrical tape off.

Yeah... I meant to ask if there was any sticky residue left behind that is a pain to remove or anything like that. Should've phrased my question better...

Looks good. Do have to take the trim off to wrap it?

No, luckily, never want to remove that trim unless you absolutely have to, it rarely goes on as good as before
Here's my DIY but I have to find another host for my pics

has anyone tried plasti-dipping the chrome trim? perhaps that can be a cheaper and cleaner alternative. My vinyl took a beating after 3 years.
