I just got the 2014 e-coupe last week but I am thinking how to to remove the front and rear chrome trims on the bumpers.

I want to wrap them with vinyl so that they won't chip easily with the road salt or debris on the road.

Anyone knows how?

Why would you need to remove the chrome mouldings to wrap them? You should be able to have them wrapped without removing them.

It is much more easy to wrap around those corners if the trim can be took off.

Try to yue plastidip glossy, that will protect the trims

Plastic dip looks so "plastic" to me. I prefer using vinyl since it has more color options to wrap.

I checked the chrome trim already, it is very hard to tug the vinyl edges between the bumper and the chrome lip due to the tight space.

be extra careful when removing chrome trims as they can break easily...
vinyl should be wrapped around the edges by removing the part from the car...
otherwise, vinyl will eventually come off...
ultraman, if u gonna wrap bumper trims, then u should also consider wrapping door/window trims...

It is a pain to remove the window trims. I have no confidence to remove those trims including the chrome pieces on the door handles as well.

I need some more time to look at the chrome trims on the bumpers again to see what is the best way to wrap.

Yes, I agree, if the vinyl does not tug inside or over the edges of the trim pieces, it will peel off easily.
