Here they are: I am surprised to say that it actually look amazing! IMO. The flash makes the red stand out a LOT more it's really not that bright.
I also have one more question. When removing the grilles to install the tape I took off the little plastic trim piece that runs horizontally across the bumper do you think it looks good when it's off? It's pic number 5 & 6.
So what do you think?

Would you mind taking a picture from 20-30 feet away, outside, with no flash? If the look is subtle, I don't think it would be bad.
Maybe you could rig some blue LED lighting behind the grill to go with it... (kidding!)

Ok those photos really suck, the sun was setting and the light was weird so I had to use the flash. I will post some pics tomorrow so you can see how good it looks. For know I am keeping it. I am not even painting just the vinyl tape.
Hopefully when I take better pics you guys will change your minds. Trust me it doesn't look have bad.
