Has anyone wrapped this piece ? If so how did you do it? On the car or this piece comes off? Don’t really want to plastic dip it but I’m tired of the chrome.

The chrome delete kits on eBay come with pieces for that, but it seems like a lot to pay for such a small section

I used a piece of matte black vvivid vinyl. It's a bit of work cuz of the way it's shaped. If you have a heat gun it'll make it a lot easier. I didn't have access to an outlet when I wrapped mine.

Looks great. I’m going to give it a try and I do have a heat gun.

If you do a little research, sorry I can’t remember the name of the company, but I found someone selling sample pieces of vinyl for like $5. I think it was 1 per address. And from what I remember, those pieces were really big, not just a small little piece.

Yea the chrome delete vinyl from the bay includes that section. The attached pic is from earlier but I've taken it through several washes and it still looks exactly like the day I put it on.

Awesome just ordered it. Gonna give it a try.
Nice! Cut off a small piece and work with it and get used to the way it feels and how it lays first. Just remember to take your time should come out great! Good luck!

If you don't already have any I would recommend squeegee similar to these. They make it easier to tuck the vinyl.

I just took mine to a tint shop. Decent price, took an hour, got a warranty, etc.

My SI is a 2018 so had the entire woosh to wrap. Used the same matte black as poster above.

Been like a year and still as good as new.

I was gonna take mine to a shop but I was being quoted between $200-$400. I think I spent around $50 for vinyl, heat gun and tools. Now that I know how to do it, if needed, I could redo it 10+ times for the price I was quoted to have someone else do it once.

Yea definitely. Just one of those things where a good dependable professional finish matters quite a bit. I've done it before wrapping some parts on a motorcycle and was never happy with how it turned out.

If I was being charged as much as you I would have probably tried as well. I got same quote as you, but that was for full tint on SI, full tint on wife's pilot and the vinyl wrap altogether.

Wow all 3 for that price! Yeah my quote was for vinyl only and that was just the strips above driver/passenger windows that's what about 1"X16' of material. Gotta love living in California!(sarcastic voice):rofl:
