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
