Help with replicating a bumper mod

Hi guys,
I want to make my front bumper black in the side grill area just like attached in this picture. Any ideas of how I can replicate that look? I tried using black plastidip but it doesn't come out clean because the edges are rounded on the bumper in that area...

I used plastidip with some success but the product is terrible, peeled, bubbled and did not wear well at all.

Bought some good quality vinyl (3M 1080) and it looks factory. About 30 minutes per side with a hair dryer, my first time wrapping anything.

Did you make the cuts while the vinyl was on the bumper? I don't want to accidentally cut into the paint

You can either trim it carefully with a knife, or use something called Knifeless Tape.
