Now THAT is sweetness man, looks hot. Love it. Will be interested to see how it holds up to the elements, I doubt I would ever do it to mine. Winter here hits -45C, dunno if wrap likes that kind of cold.
How long did it take? |

We bought it directly from vinyl manufacturer that make it to the big boys but with no name/logo print on the paper to save us some moneys. I compared it with 3M, Oracle and Avery and see no different in term of thickness, Stretch.....Real easy to work with. Just make sure you do it right.

the carbon fiber like the one on my yaris is a little expensive, since it's come with 5 years warranty, real flexible and also adhesive free when you remove it, you are looking at about $80 dollars for the hood.
