They wrapped the chrome strips and mirror caps while on the car. They took off the lower front brows and side vents to wrap those. Your new exhaust sounds awesome. |
Thanks for this and the kind words on the exhaust. Appreciate the feedback. I'm toying with the idea of getting rid of the cerium gray bits, but it seems like a pain in the ass and also those front bumper trim parts are hard to find. I think if I could have someone wrap everything while on the car it may be appealing. From what I understand the bumper trim is a pain in the ass to remove without breaking clips. |
Joe I wrapped the lower bumper trims without removing. My first time attempt at wrapping. Maybe 45mins - 1hr to do. Quick weekend project. If you don't like the outcome you can always remove it. The 3M vinyl wrap cost me $30 on Amazon. |
That looks good. I'm definitely up for a project like that. What kind of knife did you use to trim it? If you could post a link to the wrap and knife that would be great. Thinking an exacto?
What did you do about your mirrors? |
I used a small box cutter knife. I was very careful when cutting. But worse case if I did scratch, it was inside the edges which wouldn't be seen anyway. But you can buy a cheap blade-less tool to cut vinyl wrap.
For the mirror, I bought a black gloss mirror cap from Amazon and I installed myself. Not that difficult to install.
Only reason I wrapped the bumper trim is because the left side is unavailable everywhere for the last 6mths and I didn't feel like waiting any longer lol.
Here's the link to wrap
