Default Went to the dentist today...

...no more braces!



Overall, a $23 well spent. It is a black metallic vinyl that is just a tiny bit transparent and matches the Carbon Flash Metallic grille very closely. The chrome grille trim was the one design aspect I did not like about the car. Installation was straight forward, they sent two vinyl strips that you have to massage and stretch to fit perfectly, them trim the excess with a razor blade. My craftsmanship isn't factory or professional quality, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Is your car going to be in the next JAWS. Nice job.

Thank you! This was officially my first modification to the car. To prep I cleaned the chrome trim with rubbing alcohol, then immediately waxed everything once done.

Is it completely removable without any damage? I might have to get one of these for mine, unless there's a better solution out there.

FMS - Yeah, it's just adhesive vinyl. There may be a little residue to clean off if it's on there for a while, but definitely no permanent damage or marks. Just be careful when using a razor blade to trim the excess. Once trimmed, I used a tweezers to pull off the excess then used Q-Tips to work the edges in and press them down.
