I think Integress had hers done via plastidip but the workmanship was a bit shoddy
easiest way should be plasti-dip then vinyl wrap

If you do the grill then dont forget to do the side windows so it matches.

You sir are correct-
Here's the plastidip look:
Here's the far better (IMO) black vinyl look:

How much did you pay for the vinyl?

Nice IntegresS
Did they have to remove the bumper/grill to have the vinyl done ?

I paid $120 for the vinyl wrap to be done --> materials + install. I believe that also may have included removal of the crappy Plasti-Dip too though.

Yes indeed-- they said it was quite easy to remove this bumper/grill though, so easy that even I could do it. Now that's pretty good!
