See, you're becoming a wrapping pro right before our eyes, I knew you could do it!

 

LOL Thanks man! Question about the grill, I plan on doing the slats black and the outter trim gray. Is it possible to wrap the slats in a few pieces? I dont have enough black left to do it all in one so i was curious if it would look any different if i used 2-3 pieces and tucked the creases under/inside the slats. Also how did you get around the little fins that stick up on the top/inside of the slats?

 

I think the 2010+ grills you could do each slat on its' own. As far as those vertical braces in back, you just wrap all the way back into them then cut a little notch so the vinyl just rests around them. All the little trimming is what takes the most time
Might even want to consider wrapping your rear valance in CF wrap, looks pretty good on OB.

 

Alright cool, I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes. I had to order a little more vinyl, i thought i had enough but ran a little short.

Your diffuser looks awesome though! I considered it on mine but i wasnt sure how it would look since i dont have anything else in CF. Although, I was searching around today and found a gloss CF vinyl. So if i get sick of the imperfections in my rear spoiler I'm going to wrap that in gloss CF along with the valence!

 

Damn! I've been pondering about doing this to my rear as well. I have a white sedan so im wondering how that would turn out. Where do you get this CF vinyl if you don't mind me asking? And how long of a piece do I need?

 

Didn't mean to sidetrack your thread OP
A 1x5' piece will give you enough or get a 2x5' sheet in case you think might need a retry.
It's 1080 scotchprint CF wrap and Auto Vinyl Solutions is my main vinyl source, but metrorestyling is good too.

 

No worries man! Glad someone else is getting use of this tread as well

 

If your interested Wicked, check out Vivd Vinyl, they might be on MetroRestyling as well but thats where i found the gloss coated CF, damn near looked real when i saw it on a set of side splitters in person

 

Check out my build thread jinubui, I did brushed titanium vinyl work to compliment my wheel finish.

 

Thanks guys! just made the order from metro since it came out to be cheaper with shipping. Did you take off the bumper to lay the vinyl? Can't remember how much room you have to work with but I would imagine it would be easier with bumper off.

 

No, definitely leave the bumper on, if anything you might put the rear on jackstands, but I left it down. You will want to remove the rear mufflers from the hangers just so they drop about an inch further down so you can get a good wrap up into the exhaust channels.

 

A little update on the grill. I did the slats in gloss black and planning on doing the outer trim in the matte gray. Although I am digging the midnight grill look

 

Nice Job^^^^^

 

This thread has got me thinking to do my grille in gloss white and my trunk chrome piece. Anyone deal with gloss white 3M vinyl before? I'm curious to see if the difference in color will be noticeable.

 

It never hurts to try! Ordering a few samples of different shades would be your best option. Try a few different brands too, you'd be surprised how close you could get to your paint.

And It's honestly not as hard as one would think. It lays really easily, if you mess up pull it up and try again, still not working? Add a little heat and that usually does the trick. As long as you take your time you'll be surprised!
