Wrapped my hood

What do y'all think? First time ever wrapping... I think turned out pretty good. 3m makes it Sooo easy even for noobs like me.

Will Do tomorrow! It was night time once I finished. I am also doing center of roof and top of trunk as well.

Installation is really straight forward and 3m vinyl is really easy to work with. Just make sure to clean/prep properly, not over stretch, and post heat. I didn't even use any heat while applying until the very end.

I like the look of contrasting matte black against the red!

Also, if you follow body lines like I did, make sure to use knifeless tape (wrapcut, can get on amazon.com). That stuff works wonders.

Update! Took off wrap and am redoing. After sun came up I noticed stretch marks in areas I pulled too hard. New pics coming soon (also wrapping roof and trunk..)

I got quoted $500 to do this by a professional and even messing up the first time and having to redo, I got it done for $200 with a ton of vinyl left over for small things like antenna, door handles, and garnishes..

Just posted updates pics ✌️
