Default Precut Chrome Trim Delete Kit?
Has anyone tried this out? Seriously considering buying but just wondering if anyone bought this and their thoughts.

It looks intriguing. I am not a fan of the chrome either but so far have excepted that I would probably make it look worse trying to do the vinyl myself. If the quality and fitment of that kit is good then it may be dumbed down enough to work with my vinyl skills (or lack thereof).

Also intrigued. I am about to order the mini cooper trim tape a number of guys have used here. The downside to that is its not wide enough for the rear window curve, which this covers in one piece. Who's going the be the guinea pig lol

That's interesting. Wonder how well it fits. I still think it would be easier and cheaper to get a thin roll and cut it along the edge yourself so you know it covers completely.

I actually bought the VViViD Vinyl and was going to just wrap it myself but it doesn't appear as easy as it looks, i'm hoping these precut pieces are easier. lol

The issue with precut is if it short then the chrome will show, too big and you have to trim and it defeats the purpose of precut. I did it myself, very slow and tedious to get it right.

For $50 it better be very accurate, considering it's $10 for the Mini rolls.
