Really gotta give this a shot. The local shop quoted me at $249 parts and labor...

 

I realllllly want to do this myself but I know I'll mess it up.

 

Give it a shot, if you mess it up you're only out like $25 and it peels off so no one but you will know

 

it's really easy to do, especially when you find out that a shop would want like 300-400 to do this. idk why people are scared to try, worst thing you can do if you mess up is start over and do it again

 

So how does the vinyl wrap hold up when washing your car? I occasionally use a power washer every now and then, especially before I do a full detail. I wouldn't want it to rip the vinyl right off.
I don't plan on spraying down the vinyl with the power washing, but worst case scenario and the power washer got in contact with it, would I have to worry?

 

With a good install you should have zero issues.

 

After painting my headlights I thought I would complete DIY number two this week. Thank you so much for the detailed dimensions and write up. It made this DIY a breeze to complete.



Before, forgive the filthy car..





After





Nice and smooth





vinyl has nice shine as well.

 

Awesome job there!!

 

Has anyone done this on their vert? I'm really thinking about giving it a shot. I'll need to measure out everything thing like you did to see how much vinyl I'll need to get. Also, do you know if there's a template for the coupe grill or a diy for it?

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

No template for the grill, a 2x5foot sheet should give you enough for 3 tries, lol. Just lay it out and apply enough heat to get it to wrap the upper visible sections of the grill slats and cut each slat to wrap the underside about a 1/4"

Here's my sedan grill wrapped

 

Thanks!! I might order a sample square to try it out.

Wow this is a must do for black sedans

 

Thanks for the write up. It helped a bunch.

 

Well done there^^^Glad it helped.
