Doin work with CF on PWP

A lot harder than it looks. Not sure if I'm going to wrap the rest. Def gunna take more pictures when I need to put on the carbon fiber weaved bra. Should look pretty legit.

Take a heat gun to the areas above the emblem, looks unfinished or has air bubbles. I know what you mean with the difficulty, I vinyled my front grill as well. It was a pita.

I think I will eventually wrap the entire grille, it's so tedious though. Probably going to wait to do it this summer when I take the bumper off to upgrade to HID fogs and clear my headlights. The only thing is, I don't even know how to go about doing the smiley face part, cutting rectangular strips to fits a curved area= . tips Kowloon??

It's almost love bug season so I decided to finally put the bra on! It matches the grille flawlessly. Pictures don't do it justice, sorry about the poop quality, all I got is my phone.

Haha I see that tsx all the time in the garage. And as far as the rules go for parking at sterling I disregard anything they say. Worst management I've ever seen. I park in fuel efficient any chance I get lol. Still haven't gotten my hands on a reserve sticker to make black market ones haha.
