I Vinyl Wrapped my whole lip left to right up about 1.5" on my BRZ because the bumper cracked from a delaminated semi truck tire on the freeway that got thrown into me, I like mine and I like the look on the FRS (although a different aproach) also.

We have a guy that works at SR motorcars (my other gig) who does our vinyl (and half of the formula D cars I swear)

Yes he had to heat it to get it around the "fang" in the bumper, but it wasn't as hard as the S2000 he finished for forged racing right before that, those headlight recesses were very trying.
