Anyone in Portland have their chrome trim wrapped in vinyl?

Hey guys, new 330i owner here. Bought the car a few weeks ago and the chrome window trim has been driving me insane. I hate it. I have been doing a lot of research on different options, and have decided that due to cost, I think vinyl wrapping may be best for me. My question is, has anyone from the Portland area had it done, or done it themselves? If so, where did you get the vinyl? Did you remove the trim from the car to do it? Thanks in advance!

(PS, I already have a PM out to Brandon @ EAS, waiting for a reply...)

Here are a couple (shitty camera phone) pics of my car

My only mod so far (Lux 5.0)

I think I want to black out the trim, get black grills for the front, and then just have the only chrome on the car be the wheels (which I am not a huge fan of, but I got a good deal on the car so couldn't complain

)

Congrats on the car. I have a 2008 crimson red 328i that looks like yours (but darker, yours is electric red). Try a window tinting shop, they might help. Try automotive outfitters on 82nd and Foster, they do that kind of stuff there. Maybe I will see you around.

Heres a picture before I lowered it. Just bought it in mid-January. So far I have adaptive Euro-xenons, blackline taillights, OEM splitters, M3 decklid spoiler, black matte grill, H&R sport springs and 8500k GP Thunder fogs. Next up wheels and Lux 5.0 likes yours.
