Looking good man. Reppin Ontario also. Gonna be vinyl wrapping my chrome black when the warmer weather comes. How hard is it to wrap? Did you do it on or off the car?

Took off the part on the chrome. you needs tons of heat and it looks off on the metallic black so I need metallic wrap now which I'll get next week heat gun or hair dryer and take your time off the car will definitely help

Cheers. So is it just screws holding the chrome trims on then? And does the grille and bumper come off as one piece. Thanks man.

Also so a gloss black wrap isn't what I need to match Colors. It's a metallic black wrap I need ?
