Just a tip to all: I wrapped a section of my trunk spoiler with this film. I left it on for about 2 days. When I removed it- the paint came off.
Just use caution on painted surfaces.

metro restyling , use the discount code. Do a search for it. 12"x60" just barely got it done.

Remove the two screws from the out side, these will loosen the piece but not remove it. There are two more screws on the inside that I didn't mess with. It is the easiest piece to do.

Yes I did and all chrome pieces including the star.

Excellent job! Nothing like doing it yourself and feeling the gratification of a job well-done and how nicely it looks afterward.

And yes, the chrome strip on the trunk is the easiest piece by far.

I've had my grill wrapped in gloss black vinyl more than a year (and 60'000km) ago and it's still in perfect condition except for one small rock chip. Other than that, no scratches or pulled up edges.

You have to remove the grill in total.
Open hood, remove both side lugs, while pushing the grill in towards radiator and up, the grill will pop out.

Then on the back of the grill you will see the star attached in a plastic ring with finger locks. Rotate and remove star with some force. I got a plastic wedge instrument in there to relieve it...

I hope this helps...
