Bumper accents vinyl wrap Y/N?
 
I mocked up a vinyl wrap design for my front bumper. What do you guys think? Figured I'd ask the NW guys only since you guys are the ones I actually see and hang out with. Also, if anyone knows someone who does vinyl wrapping and window tinting in the greater PDX area.

I'm not anywhere near you, but do it. It looks good on the whiteout, plus it gives it a bit of the TRD kit look, which is nothing to complain about.

I like it. I say go for it!

@BRZPDX who was the guy who did your vinyl?

This would be a good DIY project. The pieces you want to wrap wouldn't be too difficult since there won't be any stretching required.

Purchase some knifeless tape and you'll be able to get the exact lines you want without the potential of scratching your paint.

I suggest doing a matte black for those spots to make it look like empty space. If you do gloss or satin black it will look like its painted.

Good vinyl manufacturers: 3M, Oracal, Avery, Hexis, Arlon

I've been checking out TCT Wraps on Facebook. They are south of Portland I think. The pictures they post are pretty good looking. It's got me thinking about a complete wrap, matte yellow perhaps...

Just remember matte finishes are harder to keep clean than gloss or even satin. The lighter the color the more any dirt, oil, or grease will show.
I've warned customers before about doing matte white and none of them have listened. One of them returned his car and now wants to do something different after only 6 months.
