The grille is fairly easy, just gotta pull the front bumper cover, but its way pricey, especially for people with the cameras.
thanks for the info and does sound intensive. I already swapped out the grille, which alone makes a huge difference.

Begs the question how does the wrap work in such tight confines? I assume they have really steady hands and knives and just apply it over the existing trim.

I have been wanting that on my Ibis White Q5. Saw one last week. Looked fantastic with the white/black color contrast. Talk about scratching me right where I itch. Sticker City a bit of a drive for me (San Diego to Sherman Oaks), but great yelp reviews and a chance to spruce up my sled is a convincing mixture. I see they are in Covid lock down mode, per a notice on their website. Will definitely be doing my part to stimulate the economy ....just as soon as the $1200 hits my bank and they reopen.

I think he's talking about a tax return. I was quoted $300 to wrap the trim when I was about to buy an A6 with chrome.

Does this wrap start to peel off on its own after a few years? What's the longevity of it?

I didn't get it done because I bought a car with black optics. The companies will warranty for one year. That's all I know.

It would be nice to know about the longevity of the wrap, given how much of a beating the front end of any vehicle is exposed to on a daily basis.
