^it was my first attempt at an overlay install and I had some concerns but the material moves pretty easily with the soapy water. Take your time and don't get frustrated.....just get another beer!

hey nice DIY...instead of using vinyl you guys think it would be a good idea to paint it black using a good high heat spray can? (And if it looks terrible then just vinyl over it)

Paint is a good option. A bit more labor intensive. If and when I pull my exhaust, I may go that route now that I like the look. The overlay was very simple though.

^ i assumed it would be less labor intensive (just alot of masking of the rear bumper)

Does the part come off? (would be alot easier to paint)
However I find when taking things apart you never get that OEM fit again
