Chrome delete on front grille and bottom window trim. The grille was wrapped with carbon fiber gloss made my vvivid. The window trim is standard black gloss made by Avery. I plan to get few other accents stuff wrapped. Stay tuned, for better pics.

Your XT looks great. What kind/brand of film did you use for the headlights and taillights? Were they pre-cut? Was it a pain dealing with the transition to the top of the headlight (wrinkles)?

The trim was such a ***** to do. I needed an expert to help. the grill and everything I did myself.

Thanks man. Lamin-x. I bought the roll and my tint did the cutting for me. It was a pain for the headlights....so I end up taking it in to the shop. Tails wasn't as bad.

Oh man, the trim was brutal! I don't understand why they use rubber on both ends. Why couldn't be just chrome with rubber underneath! lol It's not perfect but it still looks better than the chrome. I forgot how long it took but it was too damn long.

Yup, that's it. I also heated them up too, made it a lot easier to remove.

Any close up shots of that grille completed? I didn't car for all the chrome trim on these cars and you seem to be onto a clean concept.

Yeah, I will post tonight. This new carbon material is legit, looks better than real. A clean subtle look in the shade and pops out in the sun. I am very happy with the outcome.

Yea I did my trims and you can see some gaps due to the blade size. But honestly I will redo it when it is warmer but it was better to cover up everything first.
Black car and chrome = yuck =\

I think the black and the chrome are the only two that look decent together. The dip still looks good though.

Here are some pics with the chrome delete on the front grille. Wrapped in carbon fiber gloss made my Vvivid.

I will post more in sunlight, when that day comes.

Thanks guys....way better than chrome! I love the way black and carbon look together.

I just took 2nd place in my fantasy football league...winnings $400. Time to shop for a cargo box! :biggrin:

Only way I would do black and trims I said to myself black on black is too much and i didn't want my forester to look like murdered out look.

 

[sway162]

Goodies on the way. :woohoo:

Window visors
STi rear sway bar
OEM Aero crossbars
LED license plate and city lights
Osram night breaker unlimited low beam bulbs

Yeah, I don't want the murdered out look as well but sometimes it can look pretty damn good. lol I want to add a couple brushed aluminium accents though, haven't decided where yet. Perhaps the rail bars and door mirror covers.

 

[lcrazyaznl]

Nice
I probably skip the aluminum accents. i'd got textured/cf look for a nice apprearance.

Chrome/silver not my taste, but give it a shot it does give some accents to the black.

 

[sway162]

Yeah, I prefer brushed aluminum because it gives that dull look but attractive imo at the same time. To me, the brushed appearance gives off an aggressive look more than a classy look with regular chrome/aluminum. We'll see what I decide on!

 

[lcrazyaznl]

Yup we won't know till you tried.

 

[oempls]

That wrap looks really good! Looking forward to seeing the new goodies.
