Great job on the interior. But I like how the front grille surround came out.

Seems simple enough. How hard was it to wrap your grill?

it was actually the hardest piece out of all the things I wrapped bc of the shape and curves in it I had some bubbling and so I had to redo it

Nice job on the a/c vents. How did you avoid the creases in the round part? Heat and stretch?

Alright cool. Last question, I swear

You ordered the vinyl from vcarbon right? I think it was the 60x12 size? How much vinyl did you have leftover? Was it enough to wrap the grill?
