    Exclamation Chrome grill panel + logo: Veil or not?

    I have a 2008 Hyundai Elantra and the front looks like this:



    I just purchased Veil and would like to know if it's recommended (and necessary) to coat the chrome grill panels and logo on the front....or just the head lights, fog lights and front plate?

    Thanks.

    First and foremost, if you do not have a jammer, 63 cans of Veil is not enough to make a difference, so forget it.

    If you do have a jammer, and it's not an LI, then with that white car you will need the lights Veiled to give you reassuring performance. If it is an LI, the jammer is all you need, but Veil can still give you an extra margin of safety.

    To recap, use Veil if you have a lame jammer. If you have an LI, Veil is not necessary. If you have no jammer at all, you're wasting your time and money. Save it for the ticket you're going to get.

    Yeah, I would paint the grill a flat black or something else. If you are really inclined to modifying you lights you could open them up and paint them a flat black too. Obviously not painting the areas needed for the lights to reflect.

    Veil the lights and fogs if you are going to get a non Laser Interceptor Jammer.

    Or just Veil in addition just to give some extra piece of mind.

    For this install I wouldn't recommend veiling the chrome. I would stick to veiling the headlights and fogs. Reason being is that veiled chrome looks like crap and really brings the look of the car down. If you wanted to get rid of that chrome (not that it should make a huge difference) I would paint it flat black as stated above.

    At the end of the day your front end will look better and you'll be saving veil =)

    and yes, you do need a laser jammer. I purchased veil as well but I am not going to bother to apply it until I can put my Li order in. (Should be the next couple weeks!!). So look into a jammer.

    As SS said without a jammer Veil is little help. Depending on what jammer you get will determine if you need Veil.

    Veiling the headlights can only help any jammer though.
