Its looking good! I don't know if I recommend this as I don't think vinyl is really that durable and it isn't repairable - only replaceable. And those bumpers are going to be a bitch! But it isn't permanent, and it look like your doing a fantastic job zzapultimate!

It might be quite helpful to post up some kind of instructions?

I could do some sort of write up when I do the other side.

Agreed. If I like how it turns out then if it comes time to get the monte painted then I'll know how it will look. And for $30 in supplies it's not a bad price even if it only lasts a year or two. And thanks.

Working on the rear bumper tonight Should be able to finish and get a pic up later.

Rear bumper completed. I was able to stretch the vinyl around the bumper without any creases. Took a long time, but it turned out good.

Sorry for the crappy pics. I was running out of day light.

A few weeks later I'm finally done! I'm happy with the results, but next time I'm definitely painting. This was way to time consuming. Took a few dark pics to show. Hopefully I'll get her washed up and take some good photos by this weekend.

Yep, that turned out well and the 2-tone is a great touch. Much sportier

Thanks guys. I'm hoping to get my stock wheels painted before I go back to school. I'm painting them black with a polished lip. I think they will look great with the black ground effects. Planning on them being by winter wheels, but if I like them they might just stay on.
