Its 1-3/8" x 20' .. When I finished one side, I still had 1/4 of the roll left.

very nice. Look for some body-colored door handles as well. If you can, take a closeup with the tape on.

turned out real nice. I was thinking about doing that, but i think the chrome trims actually help contrast the color of my car.

Nope, no bubbles or creases at all... Just make sure you wash the trim good so the dust and dirt doesnt get caught inside the tape.
