Default Anybody 3M Carbon Wrap their engine covers?

It seems like a fairly easy item to wrap. Anybody have experience with engine cover wrapping? Tips pointers, etc.

There was a guy from So Cal who parted out a while ago. Vinconist I believe his screen name name was. Wrapped a bunch of stuff including the center engine cover. Look him up.

Hmm I wonder if 3M CF Wrap would hold up to the heat in the engine bay?

3m should hold up to the heat just fine. My friends and I all wrap stuff right near the exhaust and the 3m is showing no sign of wear. Just make sure the edges are very nicely tucked.
