Not that hard to do, but it takes patience and a very steady hand with a razor blade to get it cut right.

Not sure how it would look on yours. Buy some and try it out. The brand is Trim Bright. Only about $5 a roll.

Yeah, cut the tape in half lengthwise. Half the width is plenty wide (at least on my 5th gen) I had to use a couple pieces for each window because of the curves. The tape isn't elastic enough to make it all the way around.

This is as 'close up' a pic as I have.....
