Default Diffuser Vinyl Wrapped Between Exhaust & CF Interior Piece Wrap

Hey guys,

been waiting a long time, but finally got the vinyl job done,

removed rear seats, and got the plastic divider off and then cf wrapped, (was missing the F emblem when car was bought)

simple 70% rubbing alcohol used to clean off the bumper and plastic divider
great install overall, was introduced to blow torching the vinyl instead of using a heat gun.
with regulation, of course,

the rear bumper b/w the exhaust was matte black wrapped to go along with the s4play diffuser (gives it the appearance of a full diffuser) and the inside plastic piece (hardjob, used some liquid adhesive) was cf wrapped, 3d di-noc

I paid for the vinyl, bought it on amazon.com/ebay,
was about $35 for a piece to fit the tray
forgot which adhesive was used, but yes, installed with 2 people
one applying pressure, and another wrapping the vinyl onto the opposite side of the tray..with a blow torch

Off topic - where can I get the yellow films for the fogs? Do they actually make the fogs yellow just like those older Lexus yellow fogs? I'm a yellow fog guy

Lamin-x film
Get scissors, cut out circles to fit the car
Apply circles
Rudimentary, but gets the job done
Don't get the car wet for a week afterwards though

Looks great, especially with the ISS tips. Very nice.

IMO it's worth $150 to have done. Changes the look of the rear so much in such a positive way, and is totally reversible.

I paid $20 for ebay vinyl and put it on myself. Looks like garbage but still better than stock. I plan on having it professionally done at some point because I like it so much.

Looks good bro! DIYs are worth so much more in the end! I was going to wrap mine but the shops were charging the same price as getting it painted. So i opted for gloss black paint between the mufflers to include the s4play diffuser. Do you have a DIY to take out the rear tray? Im thinking of doing mine soon. Thanks in advance bro!

Pop out the rear seats (latch on the bottom of either the driver or passenger side of the rear seat cushion), and it's self-evident how to pop out the rear tray.
