2014 RS front chrome blackout

Made my first attempt at wrapping the chrome on front of the RS in back. I did a poor job I have to redo but my goal was to see how it would look on a black Camaro which I couldn't find a photo of online. What do u guys think? Any tips for wrapping such a tight area?

No. Matte black vinyl wrap

I think it looks awesome. I never did like the chrome on the front of it.

I did mine as well, looks so much better matte black. My tip is to use lots of heat to stretch the vinyl around the tight corners. It's challenging so order extra material for trial and error.

I used so much material and did it 3 or 4 times until I liked it

How about using plastidip? In this way, you can go back to stock look anytime you want.

Are you guys removing these pieces to do this or are you doing it right on the car? Looks good black.

A lot of people recommend removing them first. Its probably a lot easier to wrap them but you have to remove the entire front bumper to do that so I decided not to. With the black paint every time I handle it i get smears and scratches and I didnt want to deal with that aspect.

I removed mine as I was installing my z28 grill. Definitely way easier to wrap off the car.

Ya I would have to agree taking it off would be easier to do. My bumper is off right now as Im installing coloured halos so now would be a good time to tackle that project as well. Im also going the cheap route and making my own flowtie lol. Is it a PITA to remove the chrome strip? I have a feeling it is and some tabs are gonna want to break
