Really like the black carbon fiber look. I don't have any experience with vinyl wrap. Is it reasonably straight forward to do for someone that hasn't done this before? Do you have to remove the tail lights? Where do you buy the vinyl wrap and how much is needed (sorry about all the questions). I also have the 2011 low mileage Kona blue SHO and love the colour.

You don't have to remove the taillights but it does make it a lot easier. You can buy it at eBay or Amazon. I used 3M 1080-cf12.
Use primer and edge sealer to prevent it from going bad.

On this it was pretty easy for me to do. If you don't do it right you have a chance of scratching your taillights. I have to recommend plastic dip because it's significantly easier.

Thanks! Hopefully tomorrow I'll have that chrome piece on the trunk vinyl wrapped. I want to do the front grill too but that's going to require like $60 worth of vinyl wrap.

$60 well spent if you do a great job? It looks like you got a strong handle on it
