Got grill wrapped and rear valence overlay
I got my '08 Blue Slate grill wrapped today and also had them do a matte black wrap on the rear valence. I love it. Easy mod and not too $$$ either. The rear valence is subtle, but I think it looks good.

Looks good. Has the rear valence been done by others also? Concern would be heat from the exhaust tips.

Alright, I need a few more pics of the valence. Like straight on from a few feet further back so I can see the entire rear, but it looks damn good. The matte looks really good.

Definitely shouldn't have to worry about heat issues. Quite a few members have overlays and I haven't seen any issues. Many put decals on their calipers and don't have issues with heat.

I like the rear valence, I was looking at carcustomz for one. I may have to look for a local shop instead.
I also like the grill, looks clean. Did they have to take it off?
I have a Stillen grill, but kinda miss the sturdiness of the OEM.
I might get my OEM wrapped while its off the car, but do not like the whole install process of putting it back on.

Had my rear valence overlay for over a year until I went with AK-X diffusers. No problems whatsoever with stock exhausts nor with Tanabe exhausts.
