Just out of curiosity, why keep re-wrapping?
First time, was my first time wrapping and it turned out very rough (I masked the imperfect cut with red pinstripe). Second time, was a lot better but still wasn't happy with it. This time it turned out perfect and I have no complaints :p

May I ask how you did the headlights? Did you have to take the whole headlight assembly to do the wrapping? I'm assuming that was Lamanix. My R is PMM and think that would look really Sharp but I'm sure that cops wouldnt. :)

no need to remove headlight. we've done both approaches: removing entire bumper and headlight and not removing. both results the same so no need to remove anything.

we don't use precuts which are harder to work with. we only use film sheets so can be stretched with heat gun and finish with freehand scoring around edges then tucked in nice and neat.

if you've never done film before, it will mess up a lot first time and takes some practice. get extra film if you want to learn how to get it right and will be just fine.

it's 7mil thick film which is thicker than ppf like xpel or suntek, and it has much more tack than ppf for a reason. do not use water mist or spray but apply dry for best results, again unlike ppf which requires water and steam.

if you want, we have members only discount code set up with lamin-x in fk8 product reviews fb group for you to use.

Here you go. Full scoop replacement and engine cover are VERY limited order slots...2 slots per product available every 2-3 months. All their current slots are gone. Main focus for ASR is emblems.

His work is fantastic. I think I was the first or second person with the OEM painted CF valve cover.
I need to hurry up and get the ceramic coating on it so I can get it installed again.

Perfect thanks. I have a bunch of projects going at this time and it wouldn't be wise for me to start another right now. My first lady would be sure to hit the ceiling if I did. :)
But I will keep this in mind. Thanks for the tips and might be hitting you up in a month. Thanks .

Installed the is_autogroup matte CF wheel. Love the feel and the shape of it. Definitely more substantial than the stock wheel, but it does use an OEM Honda core, verified by the part numbers on the inner wheel hub. The matte CF looks very good next to the "carbon fiber" inside the cabin.

Installation was no big deal, but it did take my big 1/2" Dewalt cordless impact to get that 10mm hex bolt loose. Everything bolted back up to the new wheel like stock. Great price too at $499 considering what other options run which also use factory cores.

Decided I needed a more manly horn so I upgraded it. No more road runner *meep* *meep*

While I was in there I upgraded the intercooler.
