Preferred vinyl wrap options for '14 grille?
Is there a particular color wrap that looks the best when covering the center portion of a 2014 grille? (car is white) Gloss or brushed?
Where are people buying them?
Was going to buy the 3M Black metallic gloss, but saw some interesting carbon weave options as well....

I'm looking to do something similar to this too. I have a '14 Silver 300h. Looking at the Lexus LS460 it seems a gloss black or perhaps a dark grey would look the most "correct".
Pictures from other members would be helpful to decide.

I think I found it. Do you remember if this was the same seller?

You found the right seller (global_drive) although I am sure all other sellers from China are offering the exact same thing. The price dropped down a bit since I bought mine. So far no signs of any wear of degradation.

I used 3M satin black from e-bay on my white '14 ES 350. Has been on about 2 years now and shows some minor dings from highway debris. Good thing is I had to buy extra, so it can be redone anytime I feel the need. Down side to my grille appearance is having a required front license plate.

I applied it myself. Its a little tricky getting the ends to fit right if you havent done vinyl before.
The smallest amount I could buy was a 1 x 4 foot piece so there is enough to cover it 4 times (or do 3 friends cars

I'm going to give it a try. Has anyone used the knifeless tape to cut the vinyl? Seems that may make it easier to have clean lines. Also, do I need to get a vinyl kit that comes with the squeegee? It's double the price for the kit vs just getting the vinyl.
