E30 Build Log- New Wheels, Painting Trim, Vinyl-ing Headlights, Bra

Project E30 Build Log: Eloise Episode 2- Shadowline Begins
In the first phase of this project we're going to focus on the exterior and specifically, converting it to a darker shadowline oriented aesthetic. I did happen upon a new set of wheels, fully by accident, so these will be revealed. We will also be deep diving into shadowlining trim, what I consider to be the best method to do this, the process I used to do it, and some "pro" tips to consider along the way. I also give a breakdown of applying smoked vinyl to the headlights and fog lights, while diving into my thought process when buying tools. And finally, the introduction and short installation of a bra.
In case it's not obvious yet, I like to do a lot of setup and context, so feel free to skip chapters to the end and just watch the Glamour Shots and Practical Recommendations sections, if you don't care to hear me talk.
