so I wrapped my wood trim with black CF vinyl. I like how it looks, but man it was a pain in the ass. Getting the corners right without flaws was the hardest part. I was pretty happy with it until the flaws started getting to me. now I have red CF vinyl ordered and hopefully ill have it done by the end of the week. ill be sure to post pics of the finished product.

any suggestions on how to get the corners done with minimal bunching of material? I used a heat gun and had an old plastic card that I used for smoothing out bubbles.

I tried to do the wrapping myself, after 5-10 hours it looked horrible and cheap.
Went to a pro and the guy did it in less than 2 hours, looks awesome !!

Just a lot of heating, stretching, and pulling. Also, you can get a stick of vinyl primer for any areas where it doesn't want to stick, and that helps. I did both my and my wife's BMWs with the Scotchprint 1080 carbon fiber vinyl, and it looks amazing IMHO. Much better than the wood crap that was in it before.

trying to not pull too much so the material doesn't look distorted but definitely a lot of what you listed. ive never heard of vinyl primer...ill look it up.
