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.

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.

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.
