Just get the kidneys carefully out, clean the rods, buy the wrap and cut out 2 stripes á 370 x 80mm. Position adhesive first on backside of the rods and start your way wrapping around it.

Thats all

Dude, I was prepared for some comments like this, wonder how long it has taken to read the first
I dont care the thoughts of others as long as the look fits me like it does
For the others: Flame on

Just cut my 270mm x 80mm strips. Luckily I have some DINOC left over from my interior trim wrap. Now to figure out how to remove the grills to do this!
Some coloured CF print, like blue or red would probably pop really nice with my dark Sparkling Graphite car....but unfortunately I only have standard CF printed vinyl. Will see how this goes!

Super easy to remove. I picked up my red cf vinyl for like $8 on Amazon. And it's a 60"x12" roll.
