left it on, lay the vinyl over, heat to form and trim. It takes some time and skills to do it right, took me two tries.

eBay universal 36 inches, cut down to roughly 30, the 5 fin 27 inches will fit without modifications but will not go all the way to the edge, I chose to go longer and cut to go all the way to the edge.

I have a roll of vinyl tint waiting for my front emblem and fogs. And I NEED to spray or wrap my chrome I don't like it at all.

To be clear...you wrapped your front trim around the grille? As well as the side trim, and rear badges?

If so, I'm assuming you left on the front bumper/grille as well. Did you get 100% coverage/stick? Invisible or bladeless knife tape used anywhere? (Or whatever it's called ha).

Would like to know more how you accomplished this I'm gonna give it a shot .

Thanks

I used a combination of knife less 3m and razors, front grill came black chrome on the 17+. I did the side chrome trim, front and rear emblem, mirror turn signal, and white part of the tail lights.

Could you elaborate a little on how you wrapped the rear emblem?
I did front and rear and I feel I need to redo the rear.
It's not too bad really, and confident Ill get it better next time but a new technique may help.

Wet or dry application? Knifless tape used around outter edge? Precut at all before attempting to wrap/lay around the emblem?

I did dry and used tiny exaxto to cut but I left a sliver of the chrome exposed around outter edge. No one would notice except me I think but that's enough to redo.

It turned out great! Can you tell the exact products you used? I would like to do this to mine ASAP
