Wrapped a small part up front...thoughts?

[Neps18Si]

Had some of this vivid (amazon) wrap and thought this would look great. I am also testing the material because I may wrap the side mirrors and maybe the wing as well. Really came out good and working an indoor shop with AC helps.
Cheers.

Wrapped my hood with the same stuff. Ordered another roll to do my roof and tailgate spoiler.

Looks great, thinking of wrapping part of my front bumper with 3M carbon, just can't decide if DIY or have a shop do it.

Looks really good. Was it hard to do on the car? I’ve been wanting to venture into wrapping some stuff, watching vids and reading up on it etc. Maybe I will soon

This is very tedious, but patience is a must. This was a small area and looks easy, but to me was hard. I cut it to shape then put it on peeling slowly the back and using a plastic razor going over. Then hit it with the heat gun. Lucky for me there was one bubble. Though also I have access to a shop with AC.

Its intimidating at first but its not that hard. Curves and angle's can be difficult but once you familiarize yourself with how the wrap behaves its easy. Patience, the right tools and a good heat gun go a long way. Use a scrap piece and wrap something small to get started so you can see how it reacts to heat.

Look online for some cheaper (but not bad quality) of vinyl to start out with. You can get a 5 foot roll for about $10. My recommendation is to try to not to get frustrated. One little bubble can mess the whole thing up for you, but it's always better to just start over rather than trying to salvage a piece that is becoming difficult to sit properly. As you can see from my car, i did TONS of vinyl wrapping all over the place and many a piece of vinyl were trashed because they weren't laying perfectly. Time and patience, you'll get it!

Thanks for all the advice. I think I’ll give it a shot
