I've heard a few people use red electrical tape and some have heated it up?

Not sure how well it works though!

Red beading is by far the bet method to use

It looks so much more genuine than paint or tape

The beading is best, or some red electrical wire, just slit once al the way down and fold it on, maybe with a little glue if its not really tight!

If your going to go with the tape option, get this

It's much more vibrant than electrical tape.

ello

ive jus had ma new grille come and earlier in the day i was lucky enough to lets say aquire some green beading while on site where i was working

but how do i put it onto the grille cause there isnt a gap or anything

someone said slice it in half and then im guessing you push it in on the edge of the grille

is this correct??

There should be a slight gap between the bumper and grill, look how it fits on mine. I secured the beading to the inside of my grill with tape so it doesnt flal out

Hang on a sec, is your beading simply a tube? or does it look like this
