Carbon fiber vinyl wrapped grill
Hey guys finally got a chance to carbon fiber wrap the grill. Had extra material so I decided to do the emblem as well. Not sure if I'm feeling the emblem. What do you guys think should I leave it or unwrap it?

Remove it for best results, wrap and reinstall.

You warm it up (heat gun or hair dryer) and stretch the material over the areas.
