First time wrapping..

[rdabellano]

After being rejected and ignored by so many shops around my area, I decided to buy a carbon fiber vinyl wrap in ebay and do it myself. Afterall, how bad can it be? I finally finished it within 3 hours with some burnt fingers from the blow dryer, and some cuts, but I think it's worth it: Here's the before and after:

Some shops say there's too many curves and I don't blame them especially the middle grill, what PITA to stretch that carbon fiber, and thanks to the blow dryer. The roof and the hood is what most shops said they can do, but not the grill lol.

Some other shops said we no longer wraps, while others are out of business. LOL. Though, $29 for 7x10 ft of carbon fiber, with squeegee and knife, I think it's worth it. I was contemplating where I should wrap the rest of the black plastic in the front and also the chrome trim visors...

Great job! I was thinking about doing the same thing on my blue civic, but wasn't sure if I should/could do it myself or if it will be better to leave the job to a "professional", but I just might give it try now!

just take your time bro, there are some edges that didn't turn up good, but it's not noticeable unless you really look at it. I say go for it! it's an experience for me, and I'm glad I did it, hopefully the next time I do, I'll be a lot better.
