Looks pretty cool, and can change the way your car looks for at least a year!

Nice! 8 days of work, though!

So for 7 days, he was driving around with mismatched panels.

I need this done to my car! I wonder if he had any background in doing that type of work before? There is no way I'm buying that much vinyl and just jump into something like that.

^^ He says in the first line that he had "no experience whatsoever on vinyling anything"

Came out very well, but definitely takes a lot of research and patients to pull that off.

I like the "What happens when you wash your car?" question, with the smart ass answer of "It gets clean" haha.

Check this vid out. It's that 3M Di-Noc vinyl.
