Faux or replacement shadowline?

1013mm · 01-27-2009, 08:43 PM

So I didn't get the shadowline trim and now I'm stuck with chrome. Is there anyway to change it so far?

saw a post of someone who wrapped it in high gloss vinyl trim.

Do you happen to have the post?

I know its vinyl tape but has anyone done this for the 1? Cause the clips to take off the trim might be different.

yea that's my thread, stuff looks really good and is holding up great so far, make sure if you do it to curve it around the edge of the trim, especially along the hoffmeister kink area because as it "cures" it shrinks a little bit
