Sema grille carbon wrap

Swaping out the front grille for the sema concept grille and decided to wrap the top bar like I did for the stock grille. That actually turned out really nice, despite how this pic turned out. Do guys think I should wrap that middle bar? Or would that over do it?

I think it will look really good either way, go with your gut.

Personally, I like the contrast between the carbon and the paint. It looks really nice.

I think it would look better wrapped.

Wrap it.
If it looks off you can peel it off....that is the good thing about using wrap.

I like it. It helps reduce the reflection from the lower grille opening.

I really like this. I say leave it as you have it in the picture.

Actually, I'm more interested in what you did for the stock grille. Do you have a thread outlining that? If so, I'd like to see it. did you remove the grille to do that?

I do not have any instructions and I did not remove the grille, I measured and pre-cut the best I could. Here is the product I used:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here was another little project I did with the same material:

http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=469898

I'd classify myself as beginner with this material so it's pretty simple install on relativity flat surface with few exposed radius. All you need is a heat gun.

Even on the stock grille it turned out really nice. It just adds a lil shazzil down there to break it up. Not a lot - but just enough.

Good luck!

Really a fan of the grille. It really looks sharp in person. If the front of the car wasn't visceral enough the grille with the carbon wrap 1-up'd it. Going to keep the wrap just at the top - it adds just enough to break up all the blackness. The front-end is a lil dirty but I think you get the picture :-)
