Wrapping Rear Valence / Side Skirts

[GRUMPY-S4]

Has anyone tried doing this?

Thought about it.

Plastdipped the side blades for a few months but ended up peeling it off because it kept getting messed up.

My rear valance is currently plastidipped, it is only a temporary solution until I buy the ECS one.

Thinking about having my side blades wrapped when I do my window trim. Only thing I am worried about is the occasional rockchips.

I'm going to eventually try this (http://grfxpstore.com/store/product/885037823) for the door blades. Not sure wrapping the valence is going to be an easy task, it might be ok, but even then might look kind of janke. Maybe go the route of dipping the valence to get a more even-looking finish? I'm going the same route whiped and doing the ECS CF Diffuser eventually.

If you do a search on Birdman here on Audizine I know he had his side blades and front lipped wrapped on his estoril blue s4. I believe he goes into a fair amount of detail about how it was done and whether or not it looked good and held up.

You'll enjoy it. Works great and really enhanced the car if the color is dark. I did the front lip in silver too since the below pics were taken but it's not nearly as noticeable. I think if I moved mine forward a bit it might wrap around the bottom of the lip a bit more and be more noticable, but when I did it, it appears to not be cut that way. I almost am tempted buy a second one and try it over top of the fi

Valance wise, I have a friend does wraps and he has some extra carbon fiber that matches my interior (dark) and he's offered it up to me on my car. I've stalled all summer but probably should have him do it either very soon or just wait until spring. IMO it will really look good on my car give it's black.

Wrapping my rear Valence in Satin black today. Will post pics this afternoon. Thought about doing the Blades, but opted to keep them the body color of the S4.

Yeah, black wrap would serve your color combo well... IMO.

don't know how well carbon wrap will hold up... but easily redone if any issues arise. Or... you could always just go with real carbon?

That looks really good, how long did it take you?
How difficult is it to wrap the rear valence for someone that has never wrapped anything?

I wish I could take credit haha. My buddy has a wrapping shop. I feel it would be a little difficult, there are serval lines you'll have to cut. Material is cheap, worth a shot?
