Teaser pic of his progress a while back, can't wait to see the finished product...look close at the bumper cover beading.... a true artist!

I checked with him originally and he told me his prices doubled so he was no longer going to offer it. And wow first time I saw that pic I never even noticed the beading...Amazing, thats a tough job.

I would reccomend 3m Di-Noc, it is much thicker than many others that I have looked at.

I must have missed that color when I was looking. Are you doing the bumper on your 928? I am interested in seeing that done.

I like the wrap on the rub strips, were they easy to do?

What problems are you running into? If you don't mind me asking. I only used the CF pattern for small pieces but even with that I would mess up the pattern if I heated it then stretched it too far.

Using the Matte Black on the stang was much easier because I didn't have to worry about the pattern. I know the way we did it would 1000% not work if we had a pattern.

GL looking forward to your result.

The small stuff is the easiest and most fun. Your fingers do get sore though.

My problem with the front cover was either starting from the wrong spot or I need to do it in 2 pieces.
