It's not too difficult, it makes a loud ripping noise that my neighbors didn't appreciate. I've only taken off the driver's side door for re-wrap.

Hey sparco, sick car. Quick question I am planning to wrap my car soon but I have issues with my paint being kind of shitty.
For example this spot
Will I have to sand it down to metal then prime it before I wrap?

Body work will have to be perfect before you wrap. It is about the same thickness as two stage paint, 2-3mils.

Think this is it as far as mods go. At the most wrapping it another color.

What's the deal with the fluorescent effect on the turn signal area? I kind of dig it. Is it actually like that or is that a photoshopped effect?

It's the vinyl I ordered online, was advertised as bright yellow but turned out to be florescent instead.

Cool, I like it. Can't tell from the photo, but did you cut an arc / semicircle at the bottom to "fit" around the top of the projector?

Here's a better pic, I followed the shape of the turn signals to get the outline.

Very nice! Not a fan of full yellow (or yellow-ish) overlays, but this partial job looks rad. Especially against the white body.

Looks really good man. You can pull the yellow off with car being white and black.

Wrapped the bottom half of the bumper, cleaned up the look a bit.

Bumper looks good that way, I liked the doors better when you left the bottom part of the door black though.

Thanks SR. The passenger side is still black. lol I redid the driver's side door and got too lazy to trim the bottom.

Went back to OEM sides, bumping this since I've been getting some PMs in regards to wrapping.

Hoochie mama!
Your car looks delicious!
I am really liking that fluorescent color over the turn signal it really pops on the white!
Great car!
