Yep, don't remove the trim, it rarely goes back as good as it came off. I know this because I had to have both drivers side doors replaced from an accident a couple years ago and the trim was still Ok so it was reused, still doesn't fit as flush as it should in places
If you follow the DIY link it's not hard, just a bit time consuming, but really transforms the overall look.
There's even a few that have used vinyl that matches their gunmetal/slate wheels and that looks pretty awesome as well.

Listen to blnewt. He has a great write up. I didn't personally do it myself as I don't have the patience to work with the vinyl but I took blnewts advice and read his how to at least twice before I got it done and couldn't be any happier with how it turned out.

Definitely going to give it a try then. Going to try the spoiler first then tackle the DIY. Kind of didn't understand the measurements but I'll figure it out eventually haha. It's a very well informed DIY. Thanks man.

A 2'x5' sheet will give you enough for the trim and a couple grills.

Been a while since I posted pics in this thread.

Ready for the Sedan Meet-up in 3 days. Totally ready. Like, there's nothing else I could possibly do to this car to get it ready, LOL.

Car looks absolutely excellent, it's too bad you you need the front plate though.

Thanks, guys. It's a good feeling being 100 about your car, so I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. I'm guessing two or three weeks.

Looks really good Rochester. She sits perfect. You definitely seem very happy with where yer at now compared to where you were just a few weeks ago. Understandable. Good for you....

Agree with everyone else, car looks awesome. The ONLY thing I would do is black out the chrome window trim.

On your front grill is the outer part painted white and the inner done in black? I really like that.
