I watched a bunch of youtube about it. CKWraps is good. Use good wrap, I prefer Avery, it is thin and easy to work with. Get the tools which are not expensive and take your time.

Chrome Delete satin black with carbon fiber wrapped center piece
Carbon Fiber wrapped the center piece too.
Just got my chrome delete job done yesterday and came out amazing. I'd recommend having a professional shop do it due to the extremely tight fitting on the windows. Found a shop here in Las Vegas that did it for $250 which was a killer deal seeing that almost every other shop I contacted wanted between $400 and $500!

I plan on wrapping the lower lip on the front bumper in Carbon Fiber, same as yours...would you happen to know if the lip was removed or can it just be wrapped without having to remove anything (bumper, lip, etc)?
Thanks

Nope, lip doesn't need removing. It was wrapped with the lip still attached. Also in my opinion for the window trims, satin or matte black is the best option seeing how the lower rubber pieces below the window are a flat black and not gloss so the satin or matte black options would flow best.

Yes, I agree, I'd prefer to use Satin black vinyl if I decide to wrap chrome surround the the windows & grill.

Although frowned upon these days, you can always use plasti-dip and DIY. Most time consuming part would be masking off everything. Did it on my 3IS a few years back and it help up pretty well. Only noticeable damages were on the front bumper after ~10k miles where some chrome was peaking through due to rock chips.
