CF wrapped grill

Here is my grill wrapped in Di-noc. I was wondering if I should cover the chrome as well. I need some input on this. Thanks

Leave the the chrome, it contrasts well.

Yeah thats why I didnt cover it in the first place. But I might be leaning towards a more blackout look.

Looks good, how difficult was it? Looks like time to restore the headlights also.

Is the thread on the lower part purposely different than the other two?
IMO its a nice job but it looks weird like that...

Look what I received in the mail this morning from Mike (aka Mka77)

Cant wait to install it. Now I need to get the 3m double sided.. Where is the best place? Does home depot have it? Or a place like Auto Zone?

Glad to see you got it David. You are just a busy boy these days. I would recommend going to like an auto paint supply shop for the tape. That's where I found the tape I used. Spoiler is going to look good with the rest of the CF work you have done. Don't forget to test fit the spoiler before you stick it. That tape is really sticky tough stuff. Good luck!

I was about to message you. I just wanted to say thanks a lot for the quick shipment. Everything is perfect. I put it on the car just to test the size and it looks amazing. Thanks again.

Mka77 is a good forum member just to let everyone know! lol

Spoiler looks good. Try the 3M headlight restoration kit, I have used it on a few cars.

3M headlight restoration works really good. And once I got over my fear of sanding the headlights with the kit, I started to hand sand my headlights with different grit paper and then rubbing compund and polish - comes out much better.
