Chrome grill surround "blackout" with 3M Di-Noc tape for $10
So i thought i'd get adventurous f and decided to get rid of that "chrome".
Cut strips of DiNoc tape i got on Ebay,shipped 12"x26" for $10.00.
Then i layed them out in the sun,to soften.Peeled and pressed onto the chrome surround,going at first a 26" top strip,then bottom and finally sides.
Not perfect,and a i didnt lay the "grain" to flow,but much better then the chrome,or in my opinion the Plast Dip.
Any thoughts?
thanks
Dave

look alright, i would suggest next time buying a sheet of it so that u can have the weave in the right direction all around and to remove the ring to wrap.

I took my time doing it, got 4 x 4 sheet, half of it went to the ring the other half went to the front bumper, I took everything off to do it to make it wrap around & cut so cut marks are not visible.
diamond was done in three piece, fyi. ring was done in one piece. front bumper was done in two piece, three piece including the round cap on the front.

hey mtzl, how did you do the ring so well. take it off then what? did you just cover the whole ring with one sheet, then like cut out the middle, and then wrap it around the sides? how did you do it so there are no wrinkles and its all one piece?
