Use plasti dip. It can be removed with no after effects. Use the thinnest masking tape you can. Follow the curved lines in that area.

I went with the Exhaust Fascia Overlay from Corvette Enhancements. It uses double sided tape which I liked in case I would want to take off down the road. I've had it for serveral yrs now living in Texas & Illinois without any issues.

Either method will work, with Plasti-Dip being an easily reversible method.

I agree on the plastic dip....way better idea than $399 for the overlay. Ain't no cheapie but no sense in wasting $$$$ especially not knowing whether you'd like it....no squeegee, no bubbles, ...spray an peel if you were not to like it....just my tcw

Been toying with that idea on the NB too. Might just try it soon.
