Looks nice man, I originally looked into this material before I found a shop to wrap it and mold it for me with resin and clear coat. Not sure if you checked out my setup yet, but yours looks pretty similar to what I did, and you paid a lot less I'm sure. Nice work

thanks, Chris! I got a really good deal on the material! i need to redo it cause the adhesive that i bought sucked! and i didn't fold it right in some spots! You did a nice job on yours to! Oh, thanks for the pics of the woodgrain! i still broke the clips!

wow that looks pretty damn good, I've always dreaded taking of the woodgrain though as its easy to break while removing. can't wait to see it all done.
