Wrapping front bumper mid-section parking sensors
So I've seen a lot of people on here wrapping the mid section of the front bumper black to give it a more aggressive look.
For those that have done this, will I need to cut a hole for the sensors or will the sensors still work with the wrap covering them?

sensors will work through the wrap. you do not need to cut out a hole for them.

Sensors work fine, this is my 5th wrap on a car and no problems, I will say though if your in a cold climate it can sometimes go off in cold weather.

I will be attempting this tomorrow with the 4D Carbon Fiber roll I bought. Hopefully it turns out good.

Go to any car wrap shop to see if they will sell you some. You will need about 2-3 ft.

Just stopped by a nearby shop and they seem extremely stingy about selling any materials. I ended up buying a roll on Amazon for $13 delivered Friday.
