Carbon Fiber Wrap Grill Emblem
Searched around for a carbon fiber grille emblem and couldn't find any vendors who offered this (amazingly); so I decided to wrap one in 3M carbon vinyl to see if I like it. Not sure if I'll keep it, but thought it might give some ideas.

Would look great gloss black!
Its a very personal thing but I'm starting to go off naked carbon fiber now... It just seems to be everywhere.
Nice wrapping skills BTW

Get a couple more elements in carbon fiber: the bottom lip, mirrors, rear spoiler bottom part...
I would keep it for a while, looks nice, then in about 6 months to a year, when you get bored, try a different vinyl.
If it's a matter of personal taste, I'd keep it.
Everywhere or not everywhere, naked carbon fiber provides a nice texture, and the 3M vinyl is pretty strong and sturdy compared to others. I just got about 25 samples, and tried my nail on all of them. This one doesn't seem to show any marks.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm going to take a stab at wrapping the chrome slits on the grille as well. I'm actually very surprised none makes a true carbon fiber grille/star for this yet.

How did you do the two chrome pieces to the left and right of the Mercedes star emblem? I wrapped mine in gloss black but I couldn’t figure out how to detach the two chrome pieces from the grill. How’d you detach them from the grill?

I realize this post is 3+ years old, but I just had the urge to do this exact thing with glossy black wrap. Good job btw. I was just wondering how difficult this is, given I have never attempted to wrap anything before. For some reason I think properly wrapping the outer circle will be a challenge. Did you have to do anything special? Did you wrap the emblem with it on the car? I know it comes off quite easily, but unfortunately on the 2019 it doesn’t in fact I believe I would have to remove the grill should I want to take it off. That said I would need to wrap mine while on the vehicle. Not sure if this will make it more difficult tbh. Anyways, any insight you can share would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
