Front Grill Blacked Out, Mostly.

Picking up my car tomorrow and going to see my vinyl guy on Thursday. I‘m getting the silver trim on the grill covered but I’m also curious if anyone has seen anything new or interesting, any new ideas or substrates that are being added to the grill to make it less shiny? Car was tinted at the dealer yesterday and I have an appt Tuesday after Memorial Day to get the calipers painted red. Found a local shop for the calipers.

Fixed the gray grill.

I finally got around to wrapping the gray part of the grill. I think I turned out great. Took about three hours to do. Removing the grill was pretty easy. Removed the upper bumper plastic rivets and bolts. You can then reach in and start releasing the clips. Once you get the top free the others...

Mind sharing how much it costs? I ordered a black jet with shadow line ( should arrive at the end of July) and I would love to have the grill covered too

Sure! In addition to the grille, I'm also getting a strip of PPF below the liftgate (above the bumper). I am paying $250 altogether. I think it is probably 200 just for the grille.

Pretty reasonable! I might include the area on the door handles since looks like it can scratch easily
Thanks a lot!

I bought some 1/4" pinstripe tape to experiment with. It leaves a sliver of gray showing which almost looks factory. I like it and will probably leave it this way now. If it discolors, its easy to replace. Best $6 mod I have come across for my car! View attachment 28917 View attachment 28918 View attachment 28919
