[QU OTE=brad_houck;1651849]How hard were those pieces to get off? Did you have any problem with the vinyl scratching during install or after washing it? I want to do the same thing but am worried about the gloss black getting scratched over time.[/QUOTE]
It's a bit tricky it's 6 clips and 1 screw per side. As for scratching so far so good took my time putting everything back on so I didn't ruin it.

Looks really good. How difficult was wrapping the chrome piece on the grill for you? I wrapped mine but it didn't turn out so well on the edges. Same with the edges on the rear. Can't see them unless you look under for the front and up close for the rear.

Anyways, I wasn't too satisfied with the color so I am attempting to redo it again in the next few days. Got any tips or advice on wrapping around the edges? how did you do it?

I like the dip but like the gloss vinyl better for an oem look. Did mine last weekend. Wanted to try a white pinstripe on the front but only had red at the local Autozone, may replace the red with white later if I find some. Red emblems are ordered and may change my mind once they are on.

Lookin good vinyl FTW! I agree plasti dip feels like rubber and the black is off from the oem black parts. Personally I'd do the white pin stripe if you can find it. That would flow much nicer than the red.
