What can I do for Window Trim??
Still deployed saving up some mad money and about to turn on part two of the MOD bug. Can anyone give advice on where best to purchase the following (or how to do it):
- ADVAN RS 19"- Dark Gunmetal (these will be bought first...within the month) - Bilstein PSS 9 (do I need to get an alignment done after this?) - Matte black grill - CF mirror covers - Matte Black Window Trim (where do I get this? Or how do I do it?) - BMW CF dash kit - Window tint (any good shops in San Diego area?) The car has been sitting covered in the garage for almost 8 months with a trickle charger, I can't wait to put some money into her! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've used this guy 4 times now (for tint), and I've recommended him to plenty of my friends. Call and ask for Daryll..his prices are solid, and he'll have what you need. He's on the corner of Miramar and Camino Santa Fe.

The best way is to vinyl it. You could either find a local sticker shop in your area that could do it, or you could buy the material from a supplier and do it yourself if you are up to it. I would help you out...but Im in Chicago. Haha. I am a manager at sticker shop over here and I personally own a 335i coupe that I did matte black trim on. It looks great. Ill post pics soon.

I used to have a thread in the vendor section, but I stopped updating it. Here is some work I have done on BMW's, I wish I would have kept taking pictures of all the work I have done, but it gets un-necessary after a while I think.
matte black on this e92 M3- he wanted to get rid of the factory gloss black: |

Internet is slow (or non-existant) out here, thanks for the responses. It would definately be worth the trip to LA to see Brandon. I'll look you up when I'm back in the states in the Spring.

I've seen Brandon's work personally (he did my last 335 e92) and it's amazing...
In fact, I'm currently desperate to find someone to do my new one out here in Connecticut area now. Any suggestions? BTW, Brandon... my buddy bought my old graphite car and the trim still looks as good as it did the day you installed it. Great job. How's the band going? You coming to NY anytime soon? Wanna do my car?

Wow, nice work!
What kind of durability does the vinyl have? Any issues with peeling or fading?
