Wow, looks like you're getting pretty good at it. Those door handles and the front bumper is probably really tough, wasn't it? Can't wait to see the finished product! Keep it up!!

The bumper is not wrapped. that is an aftermarket bumper.
Door handles are pretty hard. after wasting a lot of vinyl... (i ran out and ordered more)
it is safe to say i probably got the whole technique down.

im going to redo the doors as well. it is important that i remove all panels to wrap. my next update will probably be near the final product.

Thanks!

it's okay to remove. it does tear though, so its not really 1 piece when u rip it off, and you have to put a lot of force into, depending on how long it stayed on. but it does not leave any residues, which is the good thing.

the wrap was purchased thru a contact of mine thru a wholesale supplier.
stickercity.com sells them by the foot if you dont need it in bulk.

You should open up your head lights and flat black them too.
