Got the center bar vinyl wrapped! Turned out great!! Took me about an hr and a half! Not bad for my first time. Now I just need to plastidip the inside area of the bumper and put my grill back together and it will be finished!

Vinyl will last a good while. Longer than any paint. I've only drove 2 miles since I have done it so idk how the plasti dip will last. I will keep everyone post along the road

How did I miss this thread 
I love this color TL with black as being second color.
To be honest, I thought you painted the grille haha
So you waiting for the A-Specs, Wing spoiler, about to install smoked tails, and headlight mod is next?
You don't have to add in clear diffuser. Just remove the orange, paint the housing, zkw-r....done

I tried restoring them already and even use the sealant wipe that it came with and they are already hazed over. I was thinking of wet sanding them and using the spraymax 2k clear coat on them. any thoughts?
