I hate to be a prick about it, but you have a ruler or tape measure. Go measure.

honestly, measuring will be the best way, always get more. Call stickercity.com they did my SEMA car in 3D carbon. Pretty good prices and they have that material in 60" width.

i just did mine, i didn't do the mirrors but i did all 9 pieces inside and my licence plate frame. I used 5x2 and have some material left over. I also messed up the first piece and had to re-do it. If the price is a bit high pm me and i can point you in the direction of the guy i used. He sells the glossy version of the 3m di-noc and his shipping is fast... hope this helps...

You will need one 4x10 sheet for each piece of trim

48 x 12 is more than enough if you know what you're doing. Every car i've done thats enough. For the mirrors I would probably do another 12 x 24 section that should cover them both. On the exterior I would not use the Dinoc film. The mirrors are extremely difficult and the Dinoc film is much thicker. The product I have on my car is called 1080 3M carbon fiber but I'm not sure what retailer has that. I can only get it in rolls at this point because it's so new..

Measuring is so retarded when it comes to the 3m shit. I searched and searched and searched and measured and I still guessed but you need 48 x 24 do it right, do it once. It's enough.

It's not THAT glossy in normal light. Think of it looking like black electrical tape with gray in it instead.

I bought the 600x1220mm (2x4ft)

Plenty of leftover but the 1x4ft won't cut it. I bought it for $~50 shipped

HAHA sticker city is a fucking joke. They quoted me $1000 for 30ft of matte black vinyl for my car.

I've used 3M dinoc a lot. Get it from this site TRUST ME http://www.carbonfibervinyl.com/
They always hook you up with extra. Ships fast and its definitely the high quality 3M shit. I've bought plenty from there
