Default vinyl wrap fun

This is my first time messing with vinyl wrap. Pretty cool stuff actually. We will see how It holds up after being under the hood.














1 roll of the carbon vinyl 1'x5' was plenty with extra, also pretty cheap. Only $7 off eBay.

Nice Job! I would love to do that to my cover. I was also thinking about matte-chrome wrapping the side view mirrors since I can't find any preface lift S8 mirror covers.

I was trying find someone to do that when I had my 05 W12 but could not find anyone who could or would do it.

On the car.





I'm going on a 800 mile road trip this weekend so I'll be able to report durability with the engine heat.

That'll do an even better job of trapping engine heat. Good work!

I think you meant upper right, or perhaps the "other" upper left.

Take good care of Mishar's former car. Let me know if you need to borrow any special tools as Mrs. Bally makes it to Sparta quite often.
