Default Carbon fiber grill

Considering replacing my stone-chipped grill with a carbon fiber one. Anyone try this?

Sounds good but expensive. Are you planning to make one yourself or is there one already on the market?

Default Vinyl wrap

Have you considered using vinyl wrap? Many patterns to choose from and easy enough to change or go back in the future. I think there's a company that even sells pre cut kits...Jeepgrillz?? maybe. May be worth looking into.

CF is always expensive. I'm afraid.

I'd be concerned with the durability. That being said, GenRight makes a set of carbon fiber fenders so maybe drop them a line and see if it's $600 well-spent or if you'd be better off paying for body work (or a new take off) followed by a vinyl wrap, plastidip kit, or hydro dipping it.

I've seen the simulated carbon fiber grilles from e-Autogrilles. They're pretty inexpensive, but I have no experience with them.
