I'm sick of my Chrome Grille. I really want to find an SRT Grille for a good price, but I can't find one. Do you guys think it would look good if I wrapped my Front Grille with Di-Noc Carbon Fiber Vinyl? Any Ideas? I think it would be a good idea. I was reading that the stuff lasts about 3-4 years outdoor. Hopefully by that time I would be able to buyy an SRT Grille. Where's a good place where I could buy some Di-Noc Carbon Fiber Vinyl. I'm entered it on google and it came up with a millions suggestions.
I am also going to do the Whistler Mod and paint the inside of my Headlights Black. I think that would set it off.
I was thinking that, but could it take the heat inside the headlights? I don't want the to peel off. Maybe there is some adhesive I could use. I'm also going to do my door moldings and rear parking sensor molding.
probably...the dinoc is thick stuff...i used it on my window switch bezels..my friend said that thats the only carbon fiber that actually makes the car heavier haha
haha...off topic but i saw a member type"thanks god" he was from Kuwait if im correct, but i laughed because my dad says this all the time...good luck with the wrapping tho
Yes, I think I need about 24X48 to completely cover the Grill if I am correct. It will cover the Face and the curved inserts. And I should have a little bit more.Than I will see how much I would need to do the Headlights.
Carbon fibre grille would look awesome! Gonna be fiddly though. I'm fairly certain it will peel from the headlights though so you may need to use some kind of HT adhesive.
I'd have to agree on the peeling from the headlight housing unless HT advesive is used. The grill would look sweet. May be a bit of a pain with the curves and such.
Just paint your headlights inside gloss black... and carbon fiber the rest. BUT i saw under your sig, your gonna convert the front end to an 08, you might as well do that now bc your gonna need a new grill... JMO

I would recommend the M500 vinyl they sell. I called to order DiNoc and the sales rep told me I'd be better off with the M500 they sell, it is a bit thinner, kooks just as good, and is rated for 6-9 years outdoors. It is actually designed for automotive use.
For the headlights, I'd recommend satin black over gloss. The plastic lens provides some gloss anyway, but the satin paint adds nice contrast IMO
I did not, but I am going to use some 3M 94 primer when I re do my rear step pad. The step pad is the only piece that I did that is not adhering well. The plastic on that is kind of waxy feeling, and I just tried wraping it on a whim as I had just enough left over to do it. I really like the way it looks, so I ordered the primer, and I am going to try it again. The M500 is very easy to work with, this is the first time I ever used vinyl on anything, and the results are very good IMHO.
Correct, clean the grill very thoroughly. I'd lay the vinyl over the face, work out any bubbles on the face, then start heating it around the edges of the grill openings and work the vinyl in. That is a pretty deep contour to get it into, but I think with a little heat and careful cutting it should be possible.
