Default '21 300h Chrome Delete Exhaust Issue?

I'm planning on doing a full chrome delete for my '21 300h. The shop told me that there might be an issue doing the chrome trim that goes along the back bumper around the lights due to the heat of the exhaust. Is that really going to be an issue? Just wanted some of your insights on this if you have any experience with this. Image of the back bumper for reference

I highly doubt that since the chrome is high and out of the way. Also not much exhaust to speak of on the 300h anyway.

I do wrapping (for fun on my cars and friends cars once in a while) so I have experience here.

The rear piece on the bumper will require removal to wrap it nicely/correctly if wrapping is the method of "blacking out" unless you're talking plastidip?

The upper rear piece I tried wrapping it for fun with leftover vinyl i had laying around and the pieces are really a fit tight so it's really hard to get right. It looked ok but I'm picky. So I peeled it off. Just decided to leave it chrome. The F Sport dark ones are nice.

Yea, I thought it was weird for them to say that, but I guess they were just going off of pictures. I believe it is going to be wrapped, so I'm hopeful that they know how to do the job properly, and also hoping that they won't have trouble with the tight places either.

Thanks!
