Looking for a vinyl shop in Socal that is competent enough to wrap the chrome trim, and grille on the outside of my black 07 C. Already emailed Don, and he said he doesn't do trim or grilles. So, anyone else? Going gloss black with
It all to match the paint as close as possible.

And yes, paint would be much better, but got two quotes already and it's 500+. Don't want to drop that just now.

You can contact ///HMS, they painted my grille gloss black for $150. Came out perfect. Only problem is rock chips.
They do a free respray any time and I'd recommend getting clear bra on it..

Just look at the top two pictures. They did my grille and impact strips both colored matched 040 gloss black. They sand them down, primer and paint them.

Instyle Graphics located inside Status Autowerks in Torrance can do that for you. Harris does excellent work.

Email sent. Appreciate the referral, Roland. I'll see what kind of reply I get tomorrow.

Already emailed, Don. He said he doesn't do grilles or that trim. He was the first person I thought of.

Ohh man, I didn't see your original post that you emailed Don

Did Roland's guy get back to you? Vinyling the chrome trim is going to make it look better.

I remember some guy did it but on his white w203

Emailed Rolands guy last night, haven't heard back yet. Also had another recommendation for Daley Visuals in Rancho, emailed them, and haven't heard back yet.

I'm not all about the "Murdered" look, but the chrome just isn't working for me haha.

Appreciate it, Roland. Everyone who's recommending Don, should email him and tell him to start doing grilles and door trim haha.
