If you were in SD, I could do it... =/

I two-toned my car myself with vinyl. People were standing right next to it and didn't notice it was vinyl til I told them. As Captain stated, it won't affect your resale value. If you get good vinyl it should last a good while as long as you take care of it; you shouldn't have problems with Bluebat's stuff. The vinyl will also help protect your paint from flying debris while driving, but of course it won't protect your bumper from a huge boulder, lol.

myself, as well as the other xB2's that I have seen in person with vinyl across the front have a problem with the tow hook squares weathering around the square until it basically cuts its own square out. Even though all the edges around the main piece arent weathered at all. Anyone know how to prevent this?

Is it all one piece or cause I want to do it but I don't like the way it looks over lapped.

Anyone have pics of the bumper overlay on a blackberry? My wife got a big ol scratch on her bumper and this would look killer as a way to cover it up. Also, does the mat black match the blackout trim on the windows?

Did you use a bracket to mount your plate? Or is it bolted on to your bumper?
