GJDM!

This is what I wanted to do to my Gen 4 Camry. I made a post about it a couple months back.

You have great taste! :lol:

holy cow... that is quite impressive sir. especially being your first time. seems like a viable alternative to spending $1k to $3k on a paint job.

how it will hold up in different seasons is certainly a concern, but what about summer heat and engine bay heat?

cant WAIT to see updates!

that looks really really good. definitely an inspiration.

whats the deal with the bit of exposed part under the door panel? material doesn't fit and can't get it in one piece?

is it just me or did you vinyl over the keyhole and not cut it out? lol!

i just drooled onto my laptop... literally.

I just did the part under the door today. I haven't cut out the key whole yet cuz I messed up on the other side already :oops: , and if you notice the gas door is not even cut our yet.
They say the side mirrors are the hardest thinks to wrap and after spending couple hours today trying to wrap one, I agree.

so i'm assuming that piece under the door is a separate piece?

heres a YouTube video of someone wrapping a side mirror, hope it helps a bit:

FYI...the material you're using is very good. Oracal 970RA is 4 mil and definitely will last 4-5 years even through cold winters.

good choice! any updates?

The only update is that I'm messing up big time on the mirrors and rear bumper :lol: Haven't even attempted the front bumper yet. I'll put up some pics later today to show what NOT to do.
