Watch the youtube videos and check out the sign forums. Lots of help there. I would start with wrapping non matte first, because it's stretches better than matte finish. You will learn as u go. It didn't click for me until after a few panels and with the help of an experienced friend. I think that played a major role. Full rear trunks is the hardest in my opinion, then bumpers next. Don't give up, keep doing it, play with it.

yeh, i saw this. It turned out nice. A friend of mine tried doing to his car, didn't turn out that great. He also didn't have a good controlled air environment to begin with. it was like 30 degrees inside the his paint booth. So that could have been the case.

First off... Awesome. That looks so bad ass. And now for the questions:

1. Cost?
2. Can you still take it through a car wash?
3. Is it resilient to daily driving?
4. Does it damage the paint underneath at all?
5. Again, awesome.
