Has anyone painted/wrapped the window trims/surround? I hate the chrome and would like if it's hard to take it off. If it's duct-taped.

Many thanks

Not a coupe, but wrapped mine (had it wrapped). Also wrapped the lower satin trim pieces all around.

edit, sorry, I misread your post. Idk how they're attached.

I would definitely suggest going with wrap over paint for the window trim. It's a much easier process and you don't have to worry about any window trim pieces bending from needing to be removed from the car to paint or overspray if they tried to paint it on the car.

Wrap looks and works great. If you live in the greater Seattle area, D.B. sent me to great people, who I highly recommend:
