Added top grill block and tape to edges, turned out its a bad idea to use tape.

Today I finished making my top grill block and placing it on. I used WA8979 which is the factory color for my vehicle. I did not use a primer so the paint could easily chip off of the coroplast. After letting the paint dry, I put clear packaging tape over the surface of the painted coroplast to protect the paint. It seems to be doing a good job. EDIT: bad idea, the weather (especially the rain) messes up the tape and also the tape is able to hold onto dirt and grudge whereever it is exposed.
In additon to the grill block, I got carried away and also taped a lot of my front up with clear packaging tape to smooth the airflow out through multiple surfaces around my front lights. Below are the pictures for my grill block as well as where I put the tape: EDIT: once again, bad idea to use tape.
