Here i am posting Step-By-Step instructions on how to wrap your front Kidney Grills on your G11 or G12 vehicles. The instructions for both cars are the same, the only difference is cars that have Night Vision Camera as it is mounted in the grill and had wiring and a rubber line connected to it as well. Not sure if its a coolant line but as i recommend in the thread below, i show Step-By-Step procedure on how to remove your front grills safely without damage.

Now on to wrapping the grills. I will go over Step-By-Step process on how to wrap your grill yourself and will also include the links to the materials i purchased on Amazon to complete the task. Also I used a household HairDryer to show that it can be done if you dont own a HeatGun. A heat gun will heat the material quicker but can also cause blemishes on the vinyl if you heat the material too much. Hair dryer will apply heat slower and if left on high, will heat the material well enough for a good stretch without damaging the vinyl.

NUMBERS WILL BE IN ORDER OF THE PHOTOS

1- Prepare an area clean and free of dust with enough space to do all your work. You dont want to be moving things around while your working risking debris to get in between the vinyl and the grill.

2- High gloss black Vivid vinyl wrap purchased from Amazon. Heres the link from what i bought. $23.99

3 & 4- Vinyl Wrap Tool Kit $12.49
Heres the link too.

5,6,7&8- Here you want to lay out your vinyl face down so you can size out how much material you will need to wrap your grills. Using the supplied Slide Knife, make your cuts leaving you with two pieces so you can wrap the grills and not waste too much material.
