Installed vinyl on my M3

[zhangy]

I spent one weekend a month before to install the vinyl with my father's help.
vinyl color is satin black(body color white). Totally doable with 2 person, but I don't want to do it again.
Most difficult part for me is the front bumper. I didn't remove anything from the car since I don't trust meself can reinstall them back.

That looks great. How much were the materials and many hours of work?

I like it, I’ve contemplated doing it myself but always worry I’ll mess up

I bought the avery around $600 and still left enough for fix issues later on.
we spend at least 16 hours work. Once you master the skill , it will be faster.

the outside might looks similar to professional work. but the difference is at the edge and how long it will last.
It's been a month now, so far so good. will see .

would you consider doing it for someone else aka me for a fee?

I prefer use professionals to wrap your car if you have high expectations.
I just like DIY projects. for sure if you are interested I could help you, just send me a message.

Seems to look good and would've been nice if you could've taken off some pieces although it's ok as vinyl only really lasts 2-3 years looking good in general =)

totally agree. If I could remove the bumper it should be much easier and nicer. I believe after 2 years will be replace with other color.

where did you buy the vinyl from? and how much did you buy?

My only advice if you are new to it is be very careful cutting the vinyl on the paint...preferably dont.

Takes a lot of experience to not leave knife marks in the paint. I have seen a lot of vinyl work that once removed you have a car full of irreparable marks.
