I've heard that wrap will not hold on a grill. Too many thin areas.

You can get them from this place: Guangzhou Yongjian Auto Parts in China. They have a 30 piece minimum and even take PayPal, lol. Most of the Chinese places have a 100 piece minimum on grilles.

I've seen one of these in person and they look decent. Maybe you could get a group buy, or just get a bunch and sell them

Here's a pic: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/44...rilleW211.html

The contact guy is Darren Guo.

I'd be in to buy a black grill. I don't want to paint my stock one, so I can keep when I return back to stock.

Let us know, GP ftw!

They have a 30 piece minimum. So whatever the wholesale cost plus shipping. I'll contact the factory rep to see what they say. If 30 people def want one and the price is right, then why not?

Carbon Fiber Grill

The vinyl will not work in the tight corners with the carbon vinyl, to thick, If you guys want in the next couple of weeks I will be a sponsor on MBworld with my company which will be able to do carbon or over 1000 different patterns either to a grill, interior, mirrors, emblems or under the hood, etc. (NOT JUST CARS) example- laptops, plasmas, guns etc. Below is some of the work I have done. The carbon center (NOT VINYL) pic by itself was not cleared yet when pic was taken.


If you search the thread NEW WHEELS you will see a 3 piece wheel with a step lip complete. Or go under B. Gorman in the wheel classifieds to see some of the work we have done together.

Plastidip is more resistant to chips over paint, save yourself some $$ and do it yourself. Takes 20 minutes.
