Grille cover- anyone use one?

[fsuboy75]

So I want to have my grille cross piece wrapped in black.  It will be 193.00 to do it.  

 

But for the same price I can actually get a snap on plastic cover.  Has anyone used one?  

 

Which is better?

What looks better? Or what is going to hold up better?

 

Vinyl wrap is going to look OEM if done right. But it won't hold up forever. Rock chips, scratches etc. I don't know where you drive your vehicle and the grille is a lot less prone to rock chips than say a bumper, but it's super annoying when you get a rock chip or two in whatever you are wrapping as they only get worse until you wrap them again...

 

That grill cover is definitely going to hold up better but it also is not going to look factory. From a distance I'm sure it looks fine but if someone gets up close to it, it's going to look like you put a cover on your grill. 

 

I'm not trying to deter you from doing either, and if it were me I'd by the wrap for pennies on the dollar and learn to do it myself (you can give it a go for $30 or less if you wanted to. All it is is wrap, a squeegee and a heat gun/hair dryer. Watch a couple YouTube videos, something like a grille is really easy...

Vinyl would hold up better, the painted grille cover will chip

The bedlined ones should hold up better

Can you vinyl wrap and ppf over that?

[sharkeysierra]

You can, but technically vinyl is ppf. You will be unnecessarily doing ppf if you double layer it. 
 

Some people have ceramic coated vinyl wrap as well.

So has anybody tried the overlays yet?
