How did you access these? Did you take the grills out or access by removing the top section under the hood?

Looks sharp BTW.

It was easy guys... I ordered a couple of red matte metallic wrap 12x12 inches for $40. I ordered a couple just to get the right color for the FE.

Pop off the two front grills, peel the backing, and adhere to bars. Done.

Looks great!
Where'd you order the sheets from? My car is black/black/black, but I wouldn't mind testing out a blue that matches the calipers to see how it looks

VViViD Epoxy High Gloss Carbon Fiber Automotive Vinyl Wrap (Blue, 3ft x 5ft) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WNY7Q1C...316EFDAHD?psc=

I went with this as I wanted to go with something which was light enough to pop out.

Thanks for the inspiration. With the frozen dark grey individual I wanted to keep it stealth, so went with a carbon wrap look. Love how it's subtle and adds a good touch. Great idea OP!

Has anyone tried a product like this

It looks like an easy way to do it but wanted more color options.

Just installed and it matches my red brakes, I can feel it added 20 more horsepower

ETA: sadly it only lasted a few days before I installed my Eventuri air scoops, the colored plastic bars made it too big to fit/clip on the air scoops, maybe I may cut the plastic to fit around but it might look ghetto, lol
