why would you vinyl wrap your front grille? i have never heard of anyone doing this or if its even possible, usually you would just paint it or buy it painted in gloss or matte black. Theres DIY's for this in the DIY section.

I was thinking about dipping them too, but I'll probably just order some gloss grills from Tischer next week!

I wanted to wrap because is cheap and durable, and I can change the colour anytime (I don't know yet if I want gloss or matt).

Plus I have a few more wrapping ideas that I want to discuss

I want to do my roof and antenna. Anyone have a good shop recommendation for this?

Shinzo use to be the go to shop for these things but I called them and they no longer do cars anymore.
