Not sure if this has been discussed, but has anyone seen this? 3m ni-doc covering the black plastics on the rear bumper?

can i remove the vinyl without damage to the plastic if it turns out like trash?

anybody have pics of this done? would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Is that anything like their di-noc product?

Vinyl will never do damage to paint/plastic when removing it.

Although I'd be worried about the heat back there from the exhaust.

I did the very same thing but to the interior peices. It looks great but you need to know that for it to work properly, you will have to sand out the texture and prime the bumper so it's smooth. I found out the hard way that the vinyl doesnt stick to textured plastic very well.
Also another thing to look into is 3M made a different grade carbon fiber vinyl. Look for 3M 1080 carbon fiber vinyl. It's specifically made for automotive...I was told it was a little bit thinner and a little more flexible

I saw it done recently to the rear plastic on a mazdaspeed3, im not getting any melted plastics with my single, so hopefully it holds up.

^ nothing is wrong with it, its an 08, so the fade isnt too bad, its hardly noticable.
