Arrow CF wrap & De-badge

So i've seen a few nice TL's on here with CF wrap which made me want to do the same on the grill and trim under the trunk. My TL is white on black with i guess graphite rims. I'm thinking about doing the graphite wrap, but also thinking about the black. What do you guys think?

I've tinted the car already and I'm going to get light smoke vinyl for all the lights & reflectors, just keep that in mind.

I've also searched this, but want to make sure i'm good to go... when i remove the sh-awd and tl i won't leave any holes? lol

Thanks for the input!

Graphite or black would be good and no, removing the TL or SH-AWD will not leave holes. Fishing wire in behind slowly, clean up with googone and re-wax...

So it took 2min to debadge. Heatgun & fishing line, no wax or googone used. Car was so new i just heated the emblems and they pulled away with the adhesive lol.

As far as the CF wrap goes, i'm about to order it. Either the silver or graphite idk what to do lol, trying to go for "stealth" look

On a side note, what HID vendor would you guys recommend for the fogs. HIDextra or DTMtuning?

If i do that trim piece under the trunk and the grill with that 3M Di-NOC stuff, i should be able to take it off in a year or two and not have any issues with the original finish right?

I believe that's right. The stuff is removable.

I recommend HIDextra, and you should have no issues with finish when you remove the vinyl.
