Looks good from what I can see. Take some pictures with better lighting or during the day. Go 1-1.5" and you'll be fine

I like the carbon fiber. I plan to do it next month. If you warp exterior will it be okay to wash it ? ( I wash my car every week ) . And is it okay with the temperature around 100-105 ? ( That's how Houston is in the summer ).

Polyvinyl chloride film with permanent adhesive.

Roll Size
1220mm x 50m (48in x 164ft).

Film Thickness Comparison
DI-NOC: 0.2159mm (0.0085in)
Sign vinyl: 0.0889mm (0.0035in)
Printer paper: 0.1016mm (0.004in)

Recommended Application Temperature
16-28C (60-82F).

Storage Conditions
Store film in a clean, dry environment, free from direct sunlight and at an ambient temperature below 38C (100F).

Service Temperature
The film was applied to an aluminum plate and exposed to temperatures in the range of –30C (-22F) to 65C (149F) for 12 days. Test Result: No peeling or discoloration.

Heat Resistance
Product applied to an aluminum plate and aged for 28 days at 65C (149F). Test Result: Minimal change to adhesion and film appearance.

Humidity Resistance
Product applied to an aluminum plate and aged for 28 days at 40C (104F), 90% RH. Test Result: Minimal change to adhesion and film appearance.

Stain Resistance

Thanks for your information. But I don't know is it a good news or bad news . I don't have a garage so I put if outside maybe I can try in the shade. It's almost winter so I think It will be okay now but when summer .. It's can reach up to 110F outside. Anyway I will be an experiment , I can't resist the look. How can you do the grille ? It's look so special .

i think it would be fine, i hear it should stay on for 5ish years, if not just do it again, just make sure you wrap all the way around where it tucks away so it doesnt just peel off.

Your tires look beefy but it may just be the black lip that makes them look that way. What are the specs?
