    Good idea for covering holes without doing bodywork and paint. Also, nice use of the carbon fiber vinyl as an accent.

    I did the exact same thing as the OP, except I used matte black vinyl. I did not fill the holes figuring the vinyl would bridge over them, which it mostly does, but at certain light angles, the holes are visible, so good call on filling them. I may peel mine off, fill the holes and redo it as an afternoon project.

    for matte black, you can just get this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o04_s01

    exact width of the slots of an S5 grill, no need to cut or anything.
