Hi, I just got my G sedan last Monday, and the first thing I want to do is black out my front grill. I was thinking vinyl would be better than plastidip. Whats your opinion? Also, has anyone had any experience doing this; is it really hard to do?
hey there !
i have done vinyl (metallic black) midnight black style on my '11 sedan , got it done from a local vinyl shop here ! a very cheap mod ! heres a pic
Finally got this done, it's 3m Scotchprint 1080 carbon fiber auto wrap. I've done several vinyl projects so this one wasn't too bad. Snipers' grill pic helped quite a bit, took a couple hours. Glad to finally get rid of my plastidipped grill, stuff was just too tough to clean and easy to peel when rocks hit it. Next up is carbon mirror cover, rear valence and then painted headlights so I'll be removing those light overlays
Any tips on the grill? I followed your guide for the window trim, which was excellent by the way, and have also done the trunk finisher, so I have a little experience under my belt.
wow.. I haven't tried the gril.. it looks like so much work! That came out pretty good though.. I'll contemplate it, might try it.. just scooped up an extra grill for $35 on C-list.. no emblem but that works for projects..

Glad the window trim DIY was helpful. Sounds like you've unlocked the mystery of working w/ vinyl. I just pulled one piece snug against the grill, adhered it to all the front facings, took the grill off then heated between the top slat, pushed in the vinyl as I'm heating to get enough to cover the slat, cut it along the slat and lay it down, then move to the next slat.
