    I used the tape from Ebay but it started to lift so I took it off and have been too lazy to put it back on. I don't think I cleaned the trim good enough. If you take your time and clean the trim really good it works. You can't tell its tape unless you look really close. Eventuallty I think I will paint it but for now the tape works.
    Heres a couple pics.

    I bought the blackout tape because I was impresses with others' results. Haven't put in on, though. Still not sure Shadowline is the way to go...

    Debating it in my head for 6 months now, and counting...

    ShadowLine looks great on 90% of the E34 colors... My E34 came with factory ShadowLine:

    I know, but does it look better? I can't decide. My car looks exactly like Shanek's.

    You got something heavy in your trunk?

    Not an Aussie, but a Canuck. Heres the retailer list for blackout tape. Maybe you have one of these guys in Aus.
