Matte Black Fog Light Trim Wrap (pics)

Heres what I did today. I popped out my fog light trim and wrapped them in matte black vinyl. Very quick and easy with a heat gun. Took about 15 mins to get both done. I will update this post once I have day light and pop them back on the car. The vinyl I chose to use was from here.

Its not a dumb Q, I personally havent looked for it so Im not sure. I would guess lowes or home depot would carry it. That way you get the protection of the clearcoat from rockchips, and maintain the matte finish too instead of glossy.

I bought some Matte clearcoat from Michaels before.

Darkspeed, approx. how much vinyl you need to wrap both trims? Since it's my first time doing mod like this, I kinda wanna mess with the fog light trim before the tail light tint.

The minimum size they sell is 12"x24" sheet, which is plenty for the 2 fog light trims
