Order it from metrorestyling.com and do it all yourself, its not hard at all, just need scissors and a rag to pre clean. Oracal vinyl wrap has measurment markers behind it to make it easier. Unless you dont have time or dont like to try things yourself then I cant help you.

Thank you so much! I am looking at metrorestyling.com and they have several products. Which one would you pick for mate black look? What is Oracal vinyl wrap? Is it on their webiste?
I tried doing such projects myself, but found out that I am not that great at cutting stuff out
Do you need to take the moldings off 1st? Is there a DIY page for this?
What do you mean by helping? Feel free to PM me.
Greatly Appreciated!

ORACAL is the brand they sell and is good quality, if you want diy videos just go to stickercity.com or search stickercity on youtube. Learn as you go and its easy to peel back and reposition, I did all my trimming and grille.

you will need 2 60x12 or 1 60x24, start with the smallest parts for practice.Most pros will cut after its placed over, I pre cut as much as possible so you dont risk scratching your car, the end of the trimming will have to be cut as you go but as far as thickness just precut it, use your fingers to press the bubbles out as you go one inch at a time. when doing your trimming just make sure its longer than your chrome trimming, start at one end and when you get to the other end just lift it off and cut it so you dont scratch your car.
