Grill white out

I've been thinking about changing my grill from Chili Red for a while, so I finally got some white vinyl and did it! I'm pretty happy with the results. I wanted to match the roof and mirrors. But what a PITA it is removing the grill slats.

Looks great! Just curious why you removed the grill slats to do it. I left mine on and just trimmed the vinyl to fit into the corners without much difficulty or time...

You did a great job! I wish I felt able to do this without removing the grill slats. The vinyl was just unwieldy and sticky. I felt like if I didn't do this with the slats off the car it would end up like when the Three Stooges do a wallpapering job!
