Default Gloss black trim

Hey guys, I want to get rid of the chrome grill surround as well the chrome pieces on the door mirrors. What options are available? plasti dip, vinyl etc? I've heard the grill can't be done with one single piece of vinyl as it curves alot?

A lot of people vinyl wrap them, and some do plasti dip them as well. I remember reading on one of the threads about a guy who was able to get his entire front trim in one piece of vinyl..... not sure how he did it though. Try using the search and search for "chrome trim" and you should see some threads about it.

Mine was wrapped gloss black, however I don't know if it's just one piece though.
I don't recall seeing any gaps. I'll get pics up if you need

Definitely, it looks a lot more aggressive with a gloss black trim or CF vinyl. Let me know what you decide.
