Told you that this would look way better than what you were wanting to do. Glad you did it Jeff. Now get that engine and lets make it as bad *** as it looks.

What about cleaning it? I'm sure dirt would get trapped in there, no?

Very nice, what a stunning job he did, ive seen some examples on you tube of them doing this... 5 days to wrap it, unbelievable.. patience and dedication certainly are traits to be pround of.

Looks killer Jeff, congrats..

I don't know it might trap dirt I guess time will tell but he said it does have to be hand washed and 3m sells a wax for this vinyl that is said to make it last longer. Jeff
