Car Wrapping - winter strong?

Hey All,

I am getting my 2015 TLX beak wrapped in gloss black this week and am wondering if this will hold up for the winters in Canada. Just wondering if this would bubble or be affected by the cold Canadian winters?

FYI new to the forum and have had the car for only two weeks.

no. and if it does, it's such a small piece that you can get it re-wrapped for little cost. or check into the company that is wrapping it; what they offer in warranties

keep us posted!

also, I think damage has to occur for the wrap to come un-done/bubble up.
for example; if a sharp rock hits your car just right and slices through the vinyl, it'll start to lift up some.

and Installation matters! the guy installing it should not be "practicing" on your car! LMAO

I’ve had my beak wrapped on my 2016 rdx since around this time last year and it’s held up perfectly fine. The only gripe I might have is that the colour isn’t as glossy or bright as it was when new but that’s just me being picky

i also live in Toronto and frequently drive up north. Not a spec of anything on the wrap

a quality vinyl should not lose luster in a year...
I think it'll hold up just great.
