don't mess it up
About to install Mattchrome trim.
Do you guys have any suggestions or other tips, or does the DIY on the forum pretty much sum it up?

It was pretty easy following the DIY instructions.
Best tool is something that will not scratch the trim. I used a narrow plastic scrapper to get pieces started and then a wooden shim (like used when framing doors) to work under and lift the old pieces up. The shim sounds like a strange tool (it was jsut something I found in the garage), but it worked great. I left it in the box with the wood trim in case I reinstall when I sell the car.
