The fin can be wrapped too. i just decided to leave it as is for now... the material is quite flexible and stretchable, so it can be wrapped around the curvy stuff too.

Awesome job on the roof! I like it. I'm going to do it for sure now. How much was the vinyl?

LOL poor doggie...

The vinyl runs about $25-$35 a foot. You'll need 5' (a couple of extra inches would be a good idea). I got mine from "Don Nguyen" on this forum.

wow, you can tell she's a bulldog. i'm surprised... and impressed

Curiosity got the best of me... I bought some film and installed it on my puppy today... its alright for a DIY , up close I can see some blemishes like the edges are not as flush as it can be but couple feet away from the car it looks fine. I'm thinking its the material I bought, I didnt want to spring for $150+ material so bought some less expensive brand for $80 just to play with.

great job on the wrap personally, i prefer the texture of the 3M carbon. it actually has a very nice feel to it too. but, the glossyness of the vinyl on your white M5 looks really good.

here's a close look at the Di-Noc

After seeing you wrap that bike, I am not surprised you were able to do this so easily! Haha. That bike must have been a big pain in the ass. I do not have the attention span to do something like that, haha.
