Had a BIG day yesterday, thanks to my wonderful wife I could finish all in one day. A while ago I did my center chrome ring and no happy with the corners, so reinstall it yesterday, happy with the end result.

Received my 3m CF wrap yesterday, so decided to do it while reinstall the chrome ring. Center piece was easy..kinda, i mean if you wanna make it last and look good then it's not so easy, bubble free, hide the edge etc..
Image
The V lip was the most difficult part of the day, it's not a one man job for sure, very lucky to have my wife, I almost gave up around the corner bit and she finished it for me.
Image
Finishing product looks awesome.
Image
Hair dryer and another helping hand(more the better) is a must, you need one hand holding the dryer and one hand stretch it and one hand apply and another hand push the bubble out.
Image
IT is NOT a easy job so unless you have a whole day and someone else willing to help, Don't do it. now both my wife and my fingers got blisters from the head and pushing and stretching on the Vinyl. However, it's all worth it when you look at the finished product.

thanks monty, exterior mod for a black car is a lot harder since kinda difficult to get the two tone look. we black cj owners need to put more thoughts in it. hope to get more idea from the next Sunday meet.
