Default Rear Valance Treatment

I’ve seen many C5 rear valances painted and wrapped. I’m thinking about it but black is not the color I want, so I’m curious if anyone who vinyl wrapped theirs has any tips, especially for the 2 rear vent areas.

Thanks bud! I can’t take credit as my wrap guy just felt the black needed to be broken up

A bit of Baldwin/Motion vibe here.

Thanks Guys! BOTH of these look great! I have the Tigershark Exhaust!
APT21: I see that you didn’t try to do the vents, but the treatment looks great anyway. Did you precut the vinyl or use knifeless tape?
The Former: you look like you also have a pewter car, which I have. I love the pinstripe surrounding the valance. Can you post a full pic of your car, I’d love to see the rest of the graphic.

knifeless tape was definitely used on mine

If your car is silver, a charcoal wrap would look good.
