Guest 328ci Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Not sure why, but I decided I was gonna wrap my trim tonight. I can barely wrap a present myself so I was heading into uncharted territory with this DIY. Picked up some plastic trim tools after work and headed home. Did the biggest, straightest piece first. It went surprisingly well for my first time ever doing this. No bubbles, corners nice and sharp. The next two trim pieces I did have to do over because of some minor bubbling, but I would rather get it right than have it bother me. Not pictured below is the shifter trim, which I also did tonight. I apologize for the bad pictures, was just quickly taking some. The first piece (my first attempt) All of the trim The flash makes the picture look horrible, but really shows the trim in the car. Ill get a better picture tomorrow when its not night time and with terrible garage lighting, Just have to do the front and rear arm rests I do not regret picking gloss black over the fake carbon fiber at all. I personally think the fake CF looks tacky, the gloss black is very subtle and OEM looking, exactly what I wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 328ci Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Realized it was good conditions for taking pictures today, went out and gave it a shot. Quickly realized how ugly and un-photogenic my car is. Was disappointing to say the least.

suspenceful Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 You're too hard on yourself man. The car looks good, as does the vinyl wrap. Once its lowered, you'll fall in love. patsbimmer1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I think it looks great! The camera angle and perspective change due to zoom (for lack of proper photography terminology) can make dumb cars look good in pictures or cool cars look dumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 328ci Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I appreciate the kind words. Its just not how I want my car to look, and not being in a financially fit position to make it so bothers me (I probably could make it how I want but my dad is already upset about how much money I've spent this year on it, will see what happens). @snap, there are very few angles that this car looks good from right now. The main one being in person. I know thats a lame excuse, but the perspective in the pictures really exploits how bad the stance is. In person, it looks better (as lame as that sounds).

Guest 328ci Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Car looks very good. And I couldn't resist. lol I would replace it with a dynavin if it wasnt $600. It does an alright job, but I definitely can see why people hate it And I would replace it with an aftermarket deck if they didnt look absolutely hideous in these cars. I've never seen one framed properly to make it look OEM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 The trim looks gorgeous man! The car is going to get where you want it but slow down and enjoy the process right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
