I'm thinking of doing the same in the next month, guy is charging me 250. I also want to do the trimp in gloss black, rather than chrome.
Im going to a really good guy where I live and its costing me 300 for the roof. He actually explained about all the different brands of trim and styles and I saw 100's to choose from.

3M 1080 is a good gloss but scratches easily during install. For your trims, do not use the same wrap...there are soo many cool choices that are specifically made for trims (Less or more expensive). Ask your installer to show you a catalog. I'd just suggest you keep the theme similar.

Im getting my front trim, window trims and rear diffuser in one type of wrap while the roof is in another.

Cool thanks for the info, so the installer told me he uses Avery for the wraps. My guess, is that he would be using the same type of vinyl for the trims. Honestly wasn't aware of some meant specifically for the trims.

Yea my guy said Avery is good...he showed me some of their products too. I went with KPMF for the roof and 3M for the trims. Regardless its gonna look sick with that blue...Post pics...Good luck!
