3M DI-NOC bra
This is my new to me 2005 350z. I had some 3M di-noc laying around the house and the front of my hood was in pretty rough shape thanks to Saskatchewan graveling the road in the winter and the previous owners lack of distance keeping. I was also playing around with making eye brows to match the center sections. I ordered some real carbon fiber ones because the tape just doesn't have the depth.
Car came with winter tires and I got a new set of rims that i will mount when my spacers come in. Mirrors and lip and door handles are plastic dipped.

Ive got some stuff wrapped in this. Good stuff. You need a heat gun to lay it on, and the primer if you are laying it out on a curvy part like a mirror or a lip. It's expensive though. For the price diff on a lip just get a real CF one.

Agreed. Me and a buddy wrapped his lip with scotchprint. The primer is a must as well as a heat-gun or hair dryer. The problem with a lip is the fact that you'll need a piece long enough. The widths they sell aren't nearly wide enough for a lip unless you're ok with having seems...

^^I've seen tutorials on how to layer two pieces and then cut so the seam is pretty much invisible. I'm sure it takes quite a bit of experience to do it as flawlessly as the vid I saw though.

I'd just get a large cut off of a roll and use what you need and make it seemless. I'm sure you'll be able to find someone that needs or wants some or use it yourself. (I'm talking like a 4x8 sheet or something)

I'm sure there's someone else out there doing the same, but y'all will have to put in the work to find them as I have no plans to do any more vinyl wrapping...

Just bought some 3M Di-noc
Thinking about installing some of it this weekend on my interior and I've also thought about doing the door handles. I've read various threads saying to be patient and just use the hairdryer. I've also read that it's recommended to use the primer 94 but no one has said it is an absolute must. My question is this: Should I order it (because I live in KS and buying it at the store is near impossible) or do I not need it? I don't have a garage and it's basically parked outside in the sun for at least 6 hours a day with the rest of the time being in the shade or dark. Also, I bought 24"x48" is that enough to do the inner door trim pieces, center console and door handles? Thanks.

You NEED primer 94!
