Default S5 grill Mod with 3M carbon fiber vinyl.

Hi, all.
Finally, I finished. I have been looking for some grill cover or filler for the gray thing in the middle of grill. I did not like the way it looks (color) that I tried 3M carbon fiber Vinyl on the front gill and I think it turns out better than I had expected. Here are some photos.

Yes, it took about 40 min to finish it, but if you don’t have any experience with it possibly takes little longer. However, it was really simple to do it.

Did you cut it up first then installed, or the other way?

I measure it first, cut it, and installed it to grill. Very simple job to do.

Be interesting to see how well it sticks after a few washings.

I would have deburred those existing screw holes and filled them smooth prior to adding the tape. If that's what i"m seeing there.
