I absolutely cringed looking at those photos! I'd screw something up beyond repair in about three seconds. As BossMoss said, you've got mad patience. You've also got mad skills. Well done - beautiful work!

There's just no way I could do this. No chance.

Which makes me sad.

Amazing work!

Oh, I had to remove 20lbs of wing off the trunk so that the wrap looks clean under the gasket....14 nuts and one clip later the RCF loses weight
That spoiler motor assembly is heavy.




This car is EASY to take apart and put back together. My main tool was a deep socket 10mm one long extension and a small flex rachet.

I’ve only wrapped a hood and few small pieces. Would never attempt a whole car. Skeered.
Ditto for what Ming is saying! Very brave and patient to take apart like that. Looks great!👍

Thanks Guys for your encouragement. The front bumper is simple; it's two parts, therefore I was able to wrap it with ease. The corners may fail (come up) so I re wrapped the corners from the back with the bumper off the car. The bumper off sitting on the patio is how I trimmed it up. The rear RCF bumper was the hardest part.

I added red to the center trim...makes the front look bolder and lower

here is my teacher's example

I have always wondered why Lexus did not offer a 'red' color option, instead a 'maroon' option?
