Need some Suggestions. How to vinyl wrap my G37s Diffuser.??

Hey guys just bought some vinyl wrap to wrap my roof, and I had an extra piece and decided to wrap my diffuser. The thing is I am not sure how to wrap it because the straight edges I am not sure how to cut it.

Already checked youtube and it was too hard to understand and not clearr enough. Has anyone wrapped their own diffuser before? and have any tips or experiences you can share ? . Please let me know thanks.

I dont want to take it to a shop because they over price it too much

Here's my mixed thread (about doing the wrap and also getting smashed into)
https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-sed...n-t-boned.html
And here's dragions; thread about his

I added a few tips in dragions thread so that may help.
I just used pressed on glad-wrap, laid it on the valance (just lightly stretched) and then used a sharpie to outline the exact edges on the plastic wrap. I then laid this over the vinyl backing and marked a little, matched it back up to the glad-wrap and matched up a little again and so forth until I had it all transferred over. It came out perfect as I did one half and trimmed it to perfection then flipped it over to use as the template for the other half of the vinyl. Shoot me a PM if it doesn't make sense.

No problem. let me know if you have any further questions. Oh and it's best to drop your rear muffler hangers and put a piece of wood in between the exhaust cans and the body, it'll push the exhaust tips down enough so you can get a good wrap inside the exhaust recesses.
