Did you remove the grille to get this carbon fiber film on ?
Can you we do it without removing the grille ??

If we can get enough interest, I bet we could get them to design a pattern and they could offer the carbon film already cut to fit the grill :thumbsup: |
Icediamond, I ordered the ct-engineering grille part and expecting delivery any day now. Not sure whether to use Di-Noc or xpel. It may not make much difference but based on Speed2000's results I'm leaning toward xpel.

It's pretty easy, just pretend its blue painters tape. A heat gun will help the film stretch a bit but don't get it too hot or it will instantly stretch a bunch. Also pay attention to which way the pattern is going, you don't want it want sideways. Make sure the surface to be covered is hospital clean.

The grill is about 35 inches by 12. I'd order about twice that amount in case the first one doesn't go well.

Nicely done!

Looking forward to checking out some pictures after you have installed it.. let me know how it goes and if taking out the grille to replace is hard.

Looking good man, I've done this on my RL and it didn't turn out well. I'm going to redo mine, it looks so horrible right now hehe. You should wrap the roof in carbon fiber to match your grill.

I received the blade and I'm kind of disappointed. I thought it would be a darker shade of black than it is. I'm going to install it anyways and see how it looks before applying the film.
