You should have gotten some 3M or Avery, that cheap stuff might not stay on well, or when it comes time to take it off, could cause damage to your paint. The bad reviews are scary.
Are you using knife less tape or are you going to put a blade to the bumper(if you do this and don't have the experience most likely you cut your paint) to trim it?
Look harder, he's taking about blacking out this small section. It's subtle but a nice touch.
I see it now, thanks for pointing it out. I don't have an F sport so things like that i don't see I do have a base and blacked out the front and back (minus exhaust) on mine. Was quite a chore. For that section, it looks like it's pretty flat, I'd suggest using knifeless tape to not scratch up your paint..

Thank you, @peasodos ! I cancelled my first vinyl order and ordered the one you suggested, just in metallic black instead of solid black. Hopefully this will match the trim that's already there as it's finished in metallic paint. Definitely don't want to ruin the paint underneath! I won't be cutting it on the bumper. I have some experience with vinyls and wraps so I'm going to measure it on the car and create a template of sorts so I can make sure both sides are identical and match perfectly. I'm too OCD for them to be slightly off. If that doesn't work, I'll go the knifeless tape route.

I used Avery Dennison Supreme Wrap in Gloss Black Metallic which is a 95% match to the color of the grill and lower bumper inserts on the 2016+ GS so it will look good.. I too was very OCD and wanted it to match.
Edit I see you went with the Gloss Black..you might want to cancel that and go with the Gloss Metallic Black...

I wasn't even thinking about wrapping the chrome trim around the grille, but after seeing those pics, I certainly am now Was that done in one piece or multiple?

It was done professionally so I have no clue..I did do all the trim including window, the trim piece on the trunk and the rear valance so everything would match.
