Has anyone found a vinyl overlay for the center section of bumper between the upper and lower grill? I really want to see a black overlay to make the whole center blend together. I know someone has to do it. All it would be is a vinyl wrap of some sort. I just need one cut to fit.  Smiley

It shouldn't be too hard to get ahold of a sheet of vinyl and cut it yourself, but I think Bluebat is going to be releasing his soon if he hasn't already... I'd check, but his site is blocked at work Wink

I've thought of just cutting one myself but the thought of me, my new ride, fresh paint with a fresh cut in it by accident has kept me from attempting it. I'm usually not to shy about rippin' stuff apart, taking seats out ect. but the whole scratch=rust factor makes me a bit sketchy. If I could find one precut to fit perfect the first time I would be much more likely to do it. Let me know if you see any pictures of it. Maybe it looks stupid and I am wasting my time? confused I know this may be a dumb question but what's bluebat's site name?

I was thinking more along the lines of measuring the width at the top and each spot where the angle changes on down to the bottom and cutting it before you put it on the car Wink

You could use tissue paper taped to the area and trace the outline with a pencil.   I used tracing paper on the front of my hood to make a template for the clear plastic protector from ebay (8 mil thick, 2 ft x 10 ft roll) and it looks perfect.

I think that the carbon fiber look (plastic) sticky sheet would be great!
