    I have a black gts and earlier I went to a shop and ordered some medium gray vinyl, and should be installed within the week hopefully it looks good. Haven't seen many ppl with it yet, just a lot of blacked out bumpers. Just thought I would share this :D

    30 bucks, thats for labor and a roll of vinyl, even though I'm just using enough for the front bumper and the bottom part.

    I went to a local shop that does all kinds of graphic designs for pretty much anything. You might want to try a local sign shop or a sticker store good chance they will have vinyl

    The shop I got mine at also makes those window stickers/banners, but the best bet would to ask them because they may or may not

    Yeah I'll definitely post pics when its been done, just have to wait for the vinyl to get here.

    With the grill I'm not leaving it chrome. I'm going to paint it to match the vinyl or paint it black

    color of for grill

    being how I'm going to gray out my front bumper I don't want to leave the grill chrome. Would it look better if I matched the chrome part with the color of the vinyl or would it be better black???
