Re: To wrap or not to wrap
Thanks, I did not do the door jambs since that's a little more involved.

Re: To wrap or not to wrap
Is there a seam on the top of your car, in front of the rear hatch?
Just trying to figure out how you might have done it haha.
Awesome car by the way.

Re: To wrap or not to wrap
I did the rear body portion in 3 sections. The seams are right behind the outside portion of the t-tops right when the body curves downward. I could've gone a couple of other ways with that but decided to do it that way. I used 3m satin black vinyl and 3m carbon fiber vinyl for the hood, solarwing and top portion of the rear wing. I just did the wing over the weekend. Everything is holding up just fine. This stuff lasts for years just like a regular paint job.

Re: To wrap or not to wrap
I just laid the vinyl over it and cut right at the upper portion of the opening and followed it around the contour. I sprayed the inside of the opening flat black before I wrapped it.

Check out the finished product. I'll wrap the solarwing later on.

Re: To wrap or not to wrap
i will be wrapping my Camaro this year but the headlight pockets look like a pita with how deep they are any suggestions on them?
Re: To wrap or not to wrap
I think the best bet for that headlight inlet is using knifeless tape on the edge of it. There will be a seam, but that's probably the most ideal way to do it

Re: To wrap or not to wrap
Why not actually PAINT the pocket? Or plasti-dip? Lord knows I despise plastidip, but in this case... ...I think the main body needs a little different finish than the headlight pocket anyway.

Re: To wrap or not to wrap
i wasn't thinking about the knifeless tape for the headlight pocket and i think that will do the trick. i plan on doing metallic silver, black headlight pockets, and i have a set of red 91/92 z28 stripes.
Re: To wrap or not to wrap
