Looking at those GIFs, and reading your progress thread... I totally support your idea about addressing the trunk chrome. At the very least, paint it OB.
No, wait, that was someone else, I think. Either way. Do it.

I wouldn't wrap it. Didn't wrap my grille, and wouldn't do it here. Having to deal with a lot of salt and crap in the winter wears the vinyl out. I might just sand it and paint it like I did my grille, but something about it fused with the trunk makes me like it so much more lol.

Absolutely. That pic you shopped is a really good look, and I think you can get there by simply painting that trim in factory OB.

Remove the trim piece, drop it off at a shop. A few days and $60 later, reinstall it.
That approach makes Winter and your condo garage irrelevant. And it gets professionally done.

Slow down there, cowboy.
Step 1. figure out how to remove the trim piece.
Step 2. browse for local shops, make a few calls.
Step 3. Profit.
Or DIY if you've the skills. That works too.
As for driving around without it for a few days... meh. That's what duct tape is for. And if that makes you self-conscious, buy some duct tape in gloss black at the hobby store.

SOB oil cap guy sent me a TRD cap instead of nismo.... sigh....
EDIT: DONE!!! Rochester made me do it in about two days, ill polish it a bit, and then put a thin bead of silicone around the perimeter. The old seal is pretty bad.
Ill take a better photo when the sun is out tomorrow if I dont forget.
