If so, do you have pics? I have seen some pics of people blacking out their front bumpers to make them more unified but they didn't specify if it was a 'pre cut' decal or if it's just generic vinyl wrap.
Thats a nice find. I think most people who did this mod went the DIY route with either cutting a vinyl wrap or plasti-dip/paint. Nice to see that its offered in different pre-cut finishes (the white finish seems a little odd as most folks are going for that unified top/bottom grille look by making the middle of the bumper black).
Two things i wonder about with it:
-Would it affect the parking sensors that it might cover?
-It might fit the non-F sport as well because I believe that part of the bumper is the same shape on both F-Sport and Non F-sport bumpers
I ordered it last night so i'll post pics after i apply it. I ordered the carbon fiber one; I think that would match nebula grey the best and flow with the F-Sport grill also. I believe that part of the bumper is the same as the non f sport as well. I've read some members applying vinyl on top of the parking sensors and still working as normal

Keep us posted on the final results when you're done.
I bought the black vinyl from him recently and my advice is to use a heat gun and hair dryer, it really helps smooth out the vinyl, and helps form the vinyl around the parking sensors. So far it does not cause any issues with the parking sensors.
Nice! I started with wrapping the fascia but had durability issues due to how much I drive. I ended up opting to have my bumper custom painted for the look and am extremely happy with the paint route. If you can, I'd go with paint instead of wrap/decal for the blacked out bumper. Pic of the fist day I got it back after paint.

Around how much was it to get it painted on? Looking to do the same to mine.

Just wrap it that way you can undo it if you change your mind. The painted route is permanent and if they don't get the lines straight it will be crooked forever.
You'll get a better result with non precut vinyl. Just use knifeless tape to cut the vinyl. The gaps from the precut vinyl does not look good.

Yeah my car has wrap on it right now but its kinda scratched up so i wanted to replace it. Any recommendations on where to get some good vinyl? I was going to look on ebay but idk if its good quality.

All vinyl is going to get scratched up, most noticable on glass black.
If you hit it with a heat gun must of the scratches will come out since the vinyl is self healing. You could ceramic coat it. I've ceramic coated my entire car myself, prep is key. Once you ceramic coat a car the only way to get it off afterwards is to wetsand. So if you ceramic coat over a smudge you didn't wipe off, your stuck with that smudge for a few years unless you wetsand.
It also makes the car very easy to clean and protects against most scratches. There are some cheap ones on Amazon if you just want to try on your vinyl wrap.
