Do you think you can install the HFP lip overlay with the HFP kit already on the car?

I haven't had the time to stop by any of the local sign stores or places that would have vinyl, so I was thinking of just ordering this...

Ebay Auction for Flat Black Vinyl

I have been looking for flat black and this is Avery A9 2.5mil vinyl, so I imagine it should work, and hold up to the weather.

What do you think?

should be fine, the brand i use is avery. but personally i think the flat black wouldnt looks as good as the gloss. since all the black on the car has some shine to it. my friend thought mine came like that.

Thanks for the reply. As far as the flat black goes, I want to try and match it to the black section of the rear HFP lip which has a flat black finish to it. Worst case, if I do it and I don't like it, I'm out a few bucks and I can always order gloss black.

^ Its supposed to be better doing it in multiple pieces without seeing lines. I know people do the rear window tint like that, but I haven't done this myself, esp. not on my hood you know

^ That is true, and the hood is the most common thing seen on the car (or one of them)
