^ this depends FULLY on experience level, and the level tools available to do the job.
DIY jobs can take quite awhile.. but a pro needs to turn them fast to make profit.

The more of them you do the faster you can go.. but expect it to take a sweet bit on your own your first time, and budget enough material for some redo panels. .
Just do one panel a night after work.. a piece of cake then.

thats from the heat the new tire caused just driving down the street. gonna raise it a bit to accommodate for an unstretched sidewall.

Lol I still like my RSX as a daily. They get good mpg and look good doing it. 85 mile round trip commute. Cant subject a 350z nismo to straight freeway commuting.

Truth on the overnight parts from China though lol. No one wants to rock quality parts anymore

About 3 days straight, 4 depending on how meticulous I get. Wrapped it a few times already. Going yellow or grey next time around.
