Nice work broski! You're going through the mental phases I did haha, midnight look is solid, I rocked it for about a month before I did my outside, lettering, and trim in brushed gunmetal

Do you just put the vinly wrap while the trim is installed or you have to remove the trim to do this? Same question with front grill?

Don't remove the trim, getting it reinstalled would be a b*tch. Here's the DIY

My 09 grill I left on to place the vinyl initially then removed it for the rest of the install.

Like blnewt said, keep all the trim on including the grill.

His DIY is spot on! Lay a little, slide your finger along it to press it down while lightly pulling on the vinyl. Get it all down then start trimming and tucking

As for the grill, if you have a 10+ i found it really easy to lay it in strips. You'll need a some heat for the longest slats (the top and bottom ones) but the rest were a breeze. I don't have any tips on the outer trim for the grill because i haven't tried but same concept applies. Lay, heat and gently pull. You'll get the hang of it pretty quickly.
