Easy Solution to color code your top plastic piece on grill

Well the solution was easy for me in that the silver is easy to match. See photos

I went to a sign shop/decal place, they matched the silver pretty darn good.

They made a template, cut it out (not on the car) Then put a stone shield (stonguard) on top of that. Cleaned the surface and use the heat gun to get any bubbles out. For $30 CDN it was worth a try.

I am in Regina.. I went to Trimline autographics..

I do not know the name of the silver vinyl... but the stoneshield that was put on made it look like it has a clear coat.

Damn, that's far from where I am.

So it's a vinyl sticker and not paint? Regardless, it looks very good. Looks like the JDM Familia. Nice work!

I don't know if I could get this done or not. The guy took some light brown paper traced it out on the car using a marker, He then went in the shop and cut everything out...

I would think if you have a trimline or your favorite decaling shop, they could do this very easily.

I likes...Great idea! Simple, clean, and low-$... Best kind of mod.

One warning, though, to anyone else who does this. Check the type of vinyl they're using before you have it done. Make sure it's cast vinyl, rated for outdoor use. Don't let 'em sell you the cheap stuff, or else it'll crack after a couple years.
