I cannot find the same vinyl as bimmian's roundel colors for titanium silver. Has anyone attempted to wrap their window trim in anything but black? I have a 330i, but if I go black I'm afraid it will be. Seen as a poser 328 that rebadged. I'd like to color match, or something off kilter. Looking for anyone who has gone any other color than black. I attached a picture. My car is titanium silver/matte carbon fiber and I want to stay in bounds.

Beautiful car man! If I were to make recommendations, I would wrap the roof rails/channels and make that line uniform on the top. Link below to various colors surely there is something there that would work. I think several of the matte grays at the bottom would look nice and achieve what you are looking for.

Why not wrap the trim in CF to match your accents and give it a more upscale look?

Just my opinion and it will not appeal to the masses. It seems that everyone wants to wrap everything in CF anymore. CF, in my opinion is cool if it's factory or if it's real. Just seems poserish to me. I mean no disrespect as there are lots of people on here, I imagine, that have CF wrapped dashes, trim, etc. To each his own. I applaud you for not going with the norm and doing something different. Please post pics after you have it finished whatever direction you go in.

Also if done with real CF rather than cheap matte vinyl, I think it can look quite nice especially since it won't really be too noticeable as CF until you get closer. But whatever makes OP happy

I'm just going matte black. No need to get crazy.

Wrapping chrome window trim not black
I think a competent body shop could do it by masking off the glass and surrounding body panels. Is your trim chipped or flaking?

They're weather beaten and weren't properly taken care of by the previous owner. Plus I hate chrome. I've already vinyl wrapped them. Ultimately I was looking for another color option other than matte black, but why reinvent the wheel.
