Thanks, It was a pretty easy diy. This is the first time I have done this kind of thing before. All I did was put the piece of tape on the spoiler near the middle and slowly streach it out and I just cut it about 1/8 longer so i could wrap it around and I used a credit card and guitar pic for the hard parts.

Did you heat seal the edges? Should always use a hair dryer or heat gun for a final seal around the edges while you apply pressure w/ the credit card FWIW.

It took about an hour to do it. I had to use a guitar pic to go around the edges. With the 3m 1080 just be careful with a heat gun. It will bubble the wrap and wrinkle it fast. I found it better to just let it bake in the sun then press it again with a credit card.

Those heat guns can be hard on the vinyl, I prefer hair dryers.
I like your idea about the guitar pick, nice tip

i would suggest removing the spoiler to wrap it.. it is extremely easy to remove it, will take less time removing it then trying to get the wrap to fold in,
this is mine, i wrapped mine in Carbon fiber...

Do you also have an IS250 F-sport? I think I've seen you post pics of your G37 on the Lexus forums. I have an ultrasonic blue IS-F with some small bits wrapped thanks to your inspiration.
