Finished my dashcam install mods... for now!
Summary: Blackvue DR750S-2CH installed with Cellink B battery and two Power Magic Pros - One to set the parking mode run time, the other to make sure that the Cellink is always fully charged each time I park to give maximum run-time (charging runs through a relay switched by the PMP). Cellink Extended Battery on order to pick up when I'm in Korea the week after next. Full details in these threads:

Wrapped the rear red reflectors today in semi transparent dark gray vinyl which was inspired by Tano 's car. I like that from a distance in the day they appear dark but up very close or with a light shined on them they still reflect and are functional. I couldn't find semi transparent black at the place I ordered from so I got the dark gray but I also got three different non transparent blacks to try if I didn't like the dark gray. The test sheets were $2 a piece so who cares.
Never wrapped anything before, we see if it peels off lol. I was able to use my nail or a plastic pry tool to cut the vinyl so seemed little risk of damaging the paint. Tano's thread where I got the idea http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...0&postcount=12 |

Does that ploy actually work when you get pulled over?

I'm not that much of a fan of the black grill, kidneys and badge on LBB. You can see the LBB through the grill for one, which sort of stands out if the grill is black. It also sort of looks like a hole, rather than a grill. I'm therefore thinking of going Black Chrome for all of these parts, and though IND sells everything I need, it's $500 for all the parts! I'm interested to know if the transparent vinyl would conform to the grill and gill parts with heat. Do you think it would, and where did you get the test sheets from?

I got them from https://www.fellers.com/ I used dark gray https://www.fellers.com/fellers-shop...l-window-vinyl the 073 I think they have a location in South Bay actually and you could directly go there but I ordered them because it was like 1.5 hours round trip from my office not counting the time to actually be there and pick what I wanted I figured I would just order. I do know that people have plastidip their front grille or wrapped it so yea, it would probably be fine. I saw Archie had it done to his grilles in this video I only chose to do the wrap on the rear red reflectors because I don't have the equipment to take off my wheels here to install the horizontal slat delete myself AND I like that they remain functional with this wrap material as a reflector but look black to the eye when I am looking at the car AND cost almost nothing. See totally functionally when light hits them with the wrap (flash on phone) Compare to the daytime photos and looks black. It always bothers me to see fake slate on a car that don't actually move air around or do anything. |

Basically a clear coat painting with a drop of black color. Has been done by a paint shop.
You only need to pay attention that you still have enought light visibility according the law in your country. Can also be done by wrapping, but then you mostly get a matte finish, which was no an option for me. |
