Looking for Grille Letters Feedback

[Jo8n]

Alright, guys. My wife has been wanting to do something interesting with the grille letters although we hadn't come up with anything specific yet. While she's away, I figured I'd go for it.

Can you all tell me what you think of the fully wrapped letter vs the one where I just put it on the face?

Thanks

What’s it look like at night with the light shining through?

Fully wrapped is my preference.

I will have to get back to you in a few hours on that one.

I considered plastidipping the front and sides so only the back light was visible. Still not out of the question I guess.

Well, I should say that none of these photos are accurate. The letters with the wrap are very orange but I has an iPhone so I'll have to get a friend to take a pic.

Alright. I turned the camera app's brightness setting all the way down before taking the photo and it's closer to reality though it resets the brightness level after each snap.

Now that you’ve seen it at night which do you like best?

Well, I have to say I like the fully wrapped a little better; however, given how much simpler it is to just do the face and my imperfect results of the fully wrapped, I'd be tempted to let that difference go

Thanks for making me think that through!

I’m wanting to do the same on mine so I’m glad you went there first!

This is the tint I'm using if you're interested. Available in other sizes and colors but, unfortunately, not all via one listing.

Great thanks! Ordered.

I like the fully wrapped, but not sure how well you got it to adhere on all the curves and bends at the corners of the letter. Just thinking it may be a problem and possibly peel up later.
