Thanks! Was fun overall, but definitely had me frustrated at certain points. I'm very happy with the results. I am still thinking about wrapping the mirror and door handles. Also I'm actually liking the spoiler in back. It sets it apart as a spoiler in my opinion, but I'm going to drive it this way a couple of days and see how I like it.

So far everything has turned out really well. I finished the calipers after my last post which I posted a video of in another thread. I just uploaded a very long video of what I could video of the process. I was so busy with it that I couldn't get on video everything I wanted, but it has some good insight on the project as a whole.

The video is broken up into three parts. This is the first.

Awesome vid.. Thanks for taking the time to post it. I have Tech Art Side rockers, they are bolted on at the ends and double-sided tape along the sides. Do I remove them wrap the original rockers and tape these over the wrap? Or should I keep them on and wrap over them

Are they painted or are they black plastic like the original rockers? If they are painted I would just wrap over them.You may have to cut the vinyl at the seams. Depending on the gap you may want to wrap the rockers separately without removing them so you can tuck the vinyl into the gap. Use the avery dennison micro squeegee or whatever they are called. I talk about them in the video.

Looks great! I like your idea! I'll consider doing my own vinyl wrap project as well but will probably seek some professional help from Gatorwraps.

Wow, this is increadible. I am thinking about a wrap now, and I am 1/2 tempted to attempt it myself, but I am scared. Where did you buy your vinyl? I love the color.
