Looking for a simple Vinyl.

Debating if I should paint, or use a vinyl. I want to black out the part between the lights where the badges are. Also, can I lay down the vinyl without filling the holes from where the badges used to be.

Attached is a pic of what I am talking about.

Anyone who does vinyls, please PM me. Thanks.

Yea, I like dealing with people here though who know our car and who I feel I can somewhat trust. And usually the deals are better around here anyways

haha, something like that. Ill prob just fill the holes as if I was going to paint it and call it a day, they just put the vinyl over it. Now if someone here would step up and PM me with a price, that would be awesome!

I thought someone already did this with paint, but don't remember who. Anyway, a quick photoshop job:

I'm surprised by how good that looks... it would look really nice with the carbing craft license plate backing IMO!

Someone had a carbon fiber trunk installed and paint matched but left that area unpainted. Can't remember who it was but if I recall the car was Titanium Gray. It looked really nice.
