Vinyl and the Front Fender Vents (FRS) (Question)
So let me open with I did search, and perhaps I missed it, but I didn't find anything that explicitly calls this out.
The 86 & FRS fender vents have a smallish oval towards the front of the car that I have seen on most pictures of wrapped cars is not covered. extra information: I was planning to remove the entire panel before attempting to wrap so I can more easily manipulate it. On to the question part: To handle that small oval vent area do I want to pre cut my vinyl to accommodate it, or will I find when I start this that I am thinking to much into it, and that wont be a problem? I tried looking for a stencil that I could print and precut my vinyl to, but didn't succeed. any pointers on doing this section would be appreciated. thank you in advance. |

are you talking about the fog light bezels (for cars without fogs)?
if so, remove them to make a nicer vinyl install. they are a bitch to try to get back in unless you remove your bumper so i suggest to wrap the bumper off the car. So after you remove the vents and wrapped it, cut off any excess that is in that spot before you put the bezels back in edit: wait you mean on the fender, woops, i kept reading bumper for some reason. just pop those babys out and see how they are attached. chances are they can be taken apart.

I think he's talking about these.
![]() I don't of any stencils available. You'll just have to "wing it", I'm afraid.

I popped it out and gave it a go, had more trouble with the badge actually as the bottom is greater than 90 degree turn. I have looked at others and it looks like they terminate right at the base of the badges lifted Area, I can only assume by cutting. I'll post ugly picts of my first go later, but I'm thinking when I try again I'll tape it then lay vinyl, then cut the raised area from the tape and pull the tape out
