I noticed that the front grille is not wrapped (of course you wouldn't want to) but I was wondering, did you remove the grille from the front bumper and wrap the bumper or were you able to leave on the bumper during the job and just cut lines? I'm wondering because I have a CF 1 piece front bumper but I like the look of matte cars. I want matte color with CF. If I have to paint I will, but if you managed to cut it and the lines look good i may steer towards this...

I was able to manage without removing the front grille you just need to tuck and cut perfect lines.

It was fairly easy to prepare for. I just removed all the black trim pieces that are around the car as well as the door handles and mirrors and then just washed the car with soap and water, dried it, and did a final clean with a microfiber cloth right before starting to wrap.

Are you sure it was 3M? If so, source?? 500 is a good price for 3M.
