[Darth Vapor SRT]

Has anyone had these wrapped in vinyl? I'm thinking this would look better than plasti dipping. I know I've seen a mineral gray srt that had them wrapped in carbon fiber. I want to black out my front grill to match the rest of the vapor emblems. Has anyone done it?

I had mine painted. ...that looks the best imho

Wrapping them is a major PITA with the curves going every way...it is tough to get the vinyl to stay down. It can be done though...

get some trim sticks and pull them off. Then get them painted

Do they have these at auto shop?

I got mine on ebay....but a body shop supply shop will have them. You could also try auto parts stores. I pulled my 14' grille rings off a couple days ago and sent them to scotts paint for a redo....LOL

Scott,

How did you get your chrome around your windows black?

I wrapped mine in vinyl and it was not easy. Thankfully, it's still sticking for now. I probably would have them painted if I had to do it again just because its easier. I also wrapped the chrome trim around the window in vinyl. That was much easier to do.

I wrapped mine in 3m vinyl as Scott did. I used knife tape to 'mask' off the lines...works amazingly well and I only had to pull out a razor blade in a couple of spots. You need good quality vinyl though. The 3m is great.

I had another brand - started with a V but I'd have to look it up - in black chrome. It matched the black chrome spider monkeys perfectly but was a major PITA to cut with the knife tape. The look was a little much for my taste, so I switched it over to the gloss black 3m.
