    I want to vinyl wrap the side view mirrors (really not liking the green. Lol) I have zero experience with vinyl wrap. Is it easy to do?

    I don't have experience with vinyl wrap either but I have used PlastiDip and it's dead simple...

    DipYourCar.com

    Was thinking about dipping my trim instead of removing it.

    I just plasti dipped my side view mirrors, front fender "hybrid" emblems, and the front grill area and front Toyota emblem.

    The stuff is awesome. There are some bubbles in the finished look, not really noticeable unless you're close. The front grill looks great, some drips and buildup but that's my own fault. Definitely not perfect, but I'm OK with it for now. Especially since it was my first try.

    I'll post pics here when I'm done with the cleanup.

    Kind of hard to get the full picture from those photos. Need a nice sunny day photo :)

    PlastiDip sells a "glossifier" that might make it more closely match the stock paint.

    Did you do the back of the rear view too?

    I'll get some better pics tomorrow. Lol. And no, I'm going to remove the trim from the back of the rear view. Eventually I'm going to replace the thing altogether. But for now, no one really knows what car I have. Lol.

    Do you want to sell the trim to the back of the rear view mirror?

    Toyota does not want non-Persona editions to be able to easily purchase the moldings. Remember only 1500 Persona editions will be sold in the USA. There are no codes as you need an actual vin number to be able to purchase the moldings and Toyota will verify before selling.
