Need Help wrapping the hood and side mirror in vinyl wrap.
I bought a 2013 TSX and its all white. I wanted to give it a black and white look and found out that wrapping with vinyl is the best option. I need help figuring out which vinyl is good and what notes should I be taking while doing this project.
Thanks
Thanks

3M 1080 vinyl wrap.
Take your time, go slow.
Buy more than you need and watch some YouTube videos on how to install to get a feel for what it takes to do it.
Good luck!

Null and proud of it
If you're doing it yourself, and are unsure of your skills, stay away from patterns like carbon fiber...
I find that vinyl wrap is extremely difficult to work with sometimes...
I had my hood professionally wrapped last month for $180 total...
He he removed the hood and installed 3M Dy-Noc Carbon Fiber Black on the hood... Took less than 2 hours, looks amazing...
Like the other guy said, take you're time, maybe try a small practice piece first to get the feel of it if you can...
Most Ebay sellers sell sample sheets for a couple of dollars you can get...
The guy who wrapped my hood put some sealant around the edge of the vinyl where it meets the hood, almost looks like super glue...
I will wish you the best of LUCK!!!
