Probably cost me around $1000.
But I had extra material left.

It not extremely hard. Just do it slowly, and you will be fine. CF material is harder, easy to crack while adjusting the position or bubbling. I put some water in between first. So easier to adjust the wrap.

And extra hand will definitely help alot!! I was doing most the stuff on my own. Sometime i hope theres another guy can hold the vinyl for me. Make life easier.

To me, is like sticking iPhone protector screen . Just a bigger piece of sticker.
You should buy some sample, try it on some weird shape things.

I try to wrap a mouse, phone and our 350z key remote.
It went ok, so then I start ordering material.

for the bumper, u will need someone or something hold it very firm.
need to change the shape of the vinyl.
stick vinyl on the most flatten and easy area, (middle across)
then use heat gun adjust the shape and stick the upper and bottom parts across the bumper

I really want to try this. Are you able to wash the car just as you normally would? or do you have to be really gentle?
