Blackout Templates R53

Forgive me if this has been posted osmewhere. I've worn out the search button looking for it, and maybe I'm just using the wrong terms.

I'm trying to locate templates for HL bezel, grill and beltline blackout. Has anyone ever done one? I have my vinyl in hand, ready to go, but I don't feel like playing around for hours, cutting the wrong sizes, reapplying, etc.

Thanks in advance!

This link will work for the beltline. Other than that you'll have to use black vinyl wrap and hair dryer to do head light rings. But you could pick up yourself a can of plasti dip and spray your head light trim also. You can find the spray at your local hardware store in the paint section.

You just cut the vinyl bit larger than the part and wrap it. You don't use a template which is why you can't locate a thread for it....

You learn tricks along the way, takes some practice and wasted material.

I had a feeling that might have been the case. Thanks, guys.

I actually had plasti-dip on for a while. Unfortunately, I park regularly in a high sap area, so it didn't last too long. Looked great while it did, though.
