I used plastidip to chrome delete my si and I think it turned out great matching the colors. If anyone used tint to do it I would be interested in seeing how it turned out or if you guys have any negative feedback on plastidip

Your plastidip looks good. I used vinyl wrap for the chrome delete around the windows then plastidip for the front grill

How hard was it to wrap the window trim? Looking into doing it myself but also want it to look flawless so I'm not sure if I should or have someone wrap them.

It was very easy with the right tools. Squeegee, heat gun, and exacto knife.

Both vinyl and plastidip are good easy options for window trim

If you use plastidip make sure its warm outside or keep cans in warm water. I didn't know this and had to re-do mine

how is it still holding?
As of rn plastidip is still holding. I did rip off one side to put vinyl wrap and I'd say it looks better. But hey, plastidip is still on despite going through 100 car washes

I did vinyl on mine about 2 months ago. So far so good after multiple washes but we will see how it holds up over the summer.
