Or DIY. It's pretty easy. I can send info/links if you want to give it a shot.

Negative. If you want entertainment, have Torgus try to wrap your trim.

That's a no go. If he can't wash his car I can't trust him to wrap

Z, I wrapped my exterior trim. It came out kinda lousy and my stress level was through the roof when I was done. I know my limitations. Lol. I think I'll PM Down_Shift. :-)

Thanks for the info guys!

Yep it's not terrible to do the interior. They're off the car. You can do them on the couch. Just make sure you use promoted to seal them or the wrap will shrink when the cabin gets hot in the summer.

If you need vinyl let me know too. The dry carbon I currently have looks the best out of all the ones I've used.

Exterior trim I can understand. Took me 4 hours to do my window trim, especially dealing the 8 ft long piece of vinyl.

The catch with the interior is the edges can be tucked around the plastic. If you stretch properly, and use adhesion promoter, you should be fine.

Down_Shift, do you have some pics? This is for my wife's 2011 e90 328xia no iDrive. Could you PM me a price? Also, I was doing some reading and it looks like I need to buy all new clips? Have you used the Carbon Fiber fabric? Like the one they sell here? The fabric would likely less prone to shrink as well correct?

Z, if you have those links readily available, can you post them. Maybe I can try a piece and see how it comes out. I just learned if you have the wood trim (which I do) you need to replace all the clips too. It's not like the big pins on the back of the brushed metal trim.

Not sure what you meant by clips, but I have an E92 with the wood trim, and never replaced any clips when reinstalling. Both doors and dash trims had pins to hold in place.

Ohhhhh, brushed black? I never saw that before. I like it!

This is the link I was reading referring to the clips. This car is wood trim on a 4 door.

Yeah, it's my favorite out of their line up. I highly recommend the 1080 series. Very easy to work with. I can't imagine having to replace anything with the E92 trim, so maybe E90s are different.
