That looks good. I did mine in glossy black a while back. Matte black actually looks pretty good here, gives it some contrast with the rest of the glossy grill.

 

[StrixteR]

Looks very nice.

 

[DomonationsMZ3]

Excellent !! Plastidipping mine with glossifier soon.. Your car looks so sweet dropped and those rims looks awesome.

 

[lexsr1]

Looks great! what kind of material did you use?

That's how our cars should've come off the showroom.:thumbup 1:
Did mine in matte black vinyl, too, but left the chrome Mblem on. Great boredom therapy.

How about the beltline, Smoke?

 

[Tempusfugit77]

I would like to try this but I've never wrapped anything before. Question: Did you use one large piece and cut it to the general shape of the trim, or did you use several narrow pieces, meeting in the corners?

I like it. Did mine with plastidip. did you take yours off? if so, how hard is it to do?

 

[minsanity]

No need to take bumper/grille/trims off. Took me a lunch break, an extended 1 though.A piece of vinyl should cover 1 side w/o joints. Both pcs of vinyl should meet in the middle. I used dry application. Start sticking from the headlight area & work your way down. Pressing the bubbles out as you go along. Dint even use a heat gun for this 1. Cut once the vinyl follows the form of the chrome trim. Leave enough to tuck the edges into the gap between the chrome trim & the black grille. Should there be minor bubbles trapped, don't prick em, they'll eventually disappear after a few days of sun exposure. The good thing about vinyl is you can redo it w/o worries. New, it peels off easily in 1 pc & is way more durable than dip. I'm not a pro but had some practice w/ my other cars. Here's mine w/ beltline blacked out w/ the same matte black vinyl:

^Thanks, but you must be talking about CarbonSmoke's, the best looking in the 3 universe!

 

[nas83]

did you have to rem clean!ove the bumper and trim pieces or just put tape around the area. looks so clean!!!

 

[nas83]

where d you get the vinyl from? is it some kind of spray?

 

[minsanity]

Just clean the trim w/ some isopropyl alcohol w/o moisturizer. Vinyl is sticker you can get from signage shops. 3M & Avery among the best known brands.
