if you havnt wrapped much before buy more than you need for screwup. It's cheaper to buy extra the first time than order more later.

Damn that looks good wrapped. To those who wrapped the windows, did you also do the chrome strip on the boot?

You need to post heat the vinyl with a heat gun after install to prevent the pullback.

Ahh this thread makes me want to delete the chrome too! I have nebula gray pearl and was always debating between matte black or gloss black chrome delete. I always wondered if I went gloss black chrome delete but matte black emblems, that'd look weird and vice versa.

Has anyone done matte black chrome delete AND emblems?

I did mine a couple weeks back using 3M 1080 Film Vinyl. I will be doing the rear tail pipes and diffuser next but will actually be painting them instead of vinyl wrap.

super clean!!! Please post after pics.

Do you plan on getting matte black emblems or plasti-dipping them or leaving them as-is?

How hard was it to DIY? I’m worried that I won’t be able to cut it right or install cleanly.
