If anyone has had their chrome window trim covered with black vinyl how much did it cost? I got a quoted for $300.

That seems to be a pretty common price. I was quoted $375 for mine with the front grill surrounding on my B7. I know there are places that do it cheaper but I havent found them, or maybe it's just wishful thinking.
Have you tried http://www.bmwshadowline.com/? If you have the time you could always do it yourself and these guys are pretty trusted for their quality.

I'm thinking about going this route, thanks for the link. Anyone have any experience doing it yourself? Easy or PITA?
I just ordered a roll, I figure I will give it a try and report back. It's only $30 so who cares if it doesn't work.

Guess I'll order the 3" x 30' roll of matte black & squeegee & see how it goes. There is a DIY pdf just below the 4 images on the site fyi!

I've been sitting on that same $30 roll of 3" X 30 matte black 3m vinyl for 3 months. It sits on the shelf in the garage taunting me, as the $250 quote from my local tint shop rings in my ears.

Promax motorsports in Alhambra. Maybe it was even $90. Something close to that. Great work. They've done 3 of my cars.
