Just wrapped my grill with cf.

Just want to show off my new cf grill with you guys and also in case if someone wonder how to take the chrome stripe off ...you can see from the pics. and hopefully I can put the grill back to the car tomorrow.

Sold - CLK500
looking cool - i just painted my chrome parts satin black to match my wheels and left the rest of the fins in the original glossy black

it took 2hrs to prep the parts and has taken nearly 2 days to paint as i am doing it really slow so that the paint doesn't drip!

wrapping the trim is cool, but i think it will begin to peel off pretty soon especially if you wash your car a lot.

i was going to wrap mine until i saw how complicated wrapping the star would be!

I applied some heat (hair dryer lol) to the grill too so hopefully doesnt peel up easily.

Can you take a picture installed on your car? I painted mine satin black as well. But I drive on the highway a lot so some parts are chipped.

Looks good, If you didn't tell me it was CF I don't think I could notice in that pic. It matches the lip

heat shield for cooler air. There is a thread about that if you search you'll see it.

Let your engine runs for like 10 mins then open your hood then feel your intake tube you'll see .

I dont think anyone can feel it unless you have the tool to test the temp inside the tube like the guy did in the link I posted above but since its a cheap mod I did it anyway without thinking. Maybe I again 0.0001 hp ? its still better than nothing .
