Default Plastidip....Yes again

Hi all,

Looking for help on how to cut or contour the bottom corners of the front bumper insert. I feel like it's either a sharp 90 degree angle straight down and across that looks out of place, or it's kinda rolled up if you know what I mean
Or is my OCD just out of control and it looks fine?



I want it to kind of wrap and flow naturally if that makes sense. Any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks!

OP i dealt with the same thing when I did my bumper, just deal with it dude its not that big of a deal believe me. I had OCD too and just accepted that its not that important for it to be that perfect, people wont notice that little detail

I think we are all on here because we have this crazy OCD about our Lexus. However, I agree that it looks fine, believe me I know what you are looking at.

Try to ignore as 95% of the people won't notice it at all.

Sorry but I don't think that looks good... Does not look smooth... I would do it like either one of these ways... (Forgive my "photoshop" skills) <br > <br >

I don't know who this guy is on here, but he nailed it. Wish I could get a close up of the edge.

Well it looks like he started the wrap more towards the right of the chrome trim... You have yours more towards the middle of the trim point.


Exhibit A:
