Dollar tree sells cutting mats. They don't sell nice vinyl wrap like that, but they sell contact paper!

Which would look better, marble or woodgrain!

Thanks for the heads up,
I'll be doing my grille blocks soon.

The carbon wrap seems more expensive now, but still reasonable.

There was a post here about sign vinyl years ago--sheets of adhesive vinyl that came in various colors. You could cover coroplast with it and hopefully the color would be similar to your car.

I used some scrap vinyl siding for my grill blocks in my civic, then painted it black. I used screws to secure them.
