I like that vinyl wrap on the grill Is the 3M vinyl something that can be cleanly removed with Prepsolv or something or is it pretty much a permanent mod??

You can remove it very easily and mess free. I love it!

Looks good, guess I'll get busy and order some. Looks like most remove the grill to apply, I might try to cut some and tuck it in the gap rather than taking everything apart but patience isn't one of my virtues . . .

Thought I'd try leaving the one center chrome first - I photoshopped your car to see how it would look, also tried shortening the chrome which I like but I don't think the wrapped end part of the grill will look right doing it this way.

At least if it's easy to remove it'll be fun to try! Thanks for the great photos!

I think it would be a lot easier if you removed the grill. I just took off the clips on top under the hood and then you can pull the grill forward and with a short screw driver you can undo each chrome piece at a time.
I ordered the vinyl from these guys’ ebay store. It was a little cheaper on ebay. 3M Wraps
I love the photos you did. I like the one with the middle bar the best. I never even thought to try that. I might do it if I have some free time, just to see how it looks. The second one I feel would be hard to get all lined up.

Thanks, I'll look at taking the grill off and checkout the AVS guys.
