I almost want to do the entire car flat black! i think its a unique look.

So, how does it hold up in all weather conditions. Here in the Rockies it can get very cold and or hot.

One more question, did you use a spray bottle on the application surface? Same way that a window tinter would wet the windows before applying the tint.

Should be getting my order today so if I have time tonite I might try to tackle this!

The vinyl has an adhesive backing, so water is not needed. Good luck.

Yeah I was thinking about that. Got to get the vinal right though. Wrapping the grill while it is on the car is tough with one person. Mine did not turn out that good because I did not have enough hands.

Black grill with the Acura logo chrome is a great look for the NBP..i will get mines painted real soon

Maybe you did, might want to sand down any chips in the paint so the edge doesn't show a profile through to the vinyl surface.

Thanks, I didn't take pics of the process but it's not hard if you take your time. First thing I did was remove all of the removable pieces on the grill and cleaned them. I used a hair dryer and the application tool stickercity includes in the order. On the center bar start in the middle and work your way but make sure to leave enough vinyle so it will stick in the indentions. Once you start that will make more sense! Good luck!

I'm saving up some extra cash, as we speak, for rear lip and suspension! The anticipation is killer!

Thanks you

The grill is going to get painted again since a shop sprayed a little of primer to the flat black grill, so it's gonna look like new again and for free.

Looks great man

I changed mine up a lil bit and actually went with a semi-gloss vinyl. Looks better than flat black in my opinion.

I painted the grill myself using Plasti-Dip spray paint. It came out awesome.

NICE! looks great I think im going to polish my headlights this weekend.

nikoatx

Looks clean man. I am putting in the order! Quick Question, how did you get rid of the orange on your head lights?

skd2k1

iTrader: (1)

Thanks dude, I put lights in the oven and opened them up and removed the orange reflectors. Do a search for "clear headlight" or something like that. I think there is a DIY on it somewhere.

nikoatx

Thank you, that is what I figured. I am just scared to bake mine
Looks very nice though, might have to reconsider

nikoatx

Thanks guys for all the posts on this thread, got me to do mine and I love it. Just so you know what it looks like if you leave the gray and chrome lips on the bottom. Leaving it for now but might end up blacking it all out soon. I am a fan of vinyl now! stuff is amazing.

Just put my order in with stickercity.com but in matte black. Thanks for the pics and website!~

nikoatx

Just watch out on that middle part, where the Acura symbol is. Like suggested before, start in the middle and work you way out on both sides. For some reason I started from the side and made a mess of it. Stretchyness and a lil heat are your friend!

1islandparadise

^^^Is your middle part, 2 pieces of vinyl? Thanks!~

nikoatx

no I did it with 1, but started from the side. So had to cut out slack and ended up with a line through it but you cant see it unless you are close. I am ordering another sheet so I can re do it but if you start from the middle, it should make life a lot easier. Still going to be a pain in the ass. I would do your other parts first to get some practice

i just painted my grill yesterday...i did 2 coats of plasti-dip (from home depot), 3 coats of clear coat (also from home depot) and to top it all off i used rubbing compound to make it all shiny. i can post a pic of it up if you're curious about the outcome

nikoatx

i would like to see
