Respect for doing this yourself. It looks clean so far too. Waiting to see it all done.

The hood, the roundel, did you take it off or just cut around it and use the edge of a squeegee to push it down into the groove?

Buy it 60" wide and you won't have to seam it anywhere on a e90.

Looks good so far. I've been thinking of doing the blue chrome vinyl wrap or the white CF. Not sure I want to dip my toes in this or not..
