Helpers
me
my girlfriend

only part that was tricky was the door handle removal because they are no in depth tutorial here for the e92 coupe. i think i will make one for any one whos interested .

let me know what you think!!

Dude amazing job! I want to vinyl wrap my car now

how much was the wrap and big is the roll? Also how hard was it to take the parts off?

jyjimenez3 · 04-16-2016, 02:30 PM

for my first job i went a more affordable brand , so if i messed up it wont be a total loss. which is vvivid vinyl . i made sure to get their new improved XPO vinyl wrap which in my opinion is really easy. i had a coupe of air bubbles and all i did was flatten them out with my dumb, and it disappeared . the roll i got was 5ftx50 and it was 315$ not including shipping . i would deff go up only to be sure for no mess up. the hardest part was latching the door handle with the springs inside.

Wow. I'm surprised the first vinyl wrap job you decided to attack... was the entire car. Props to you for taking on the challenge though. looks great so far.

I used Vivvid for the wrap on my interior and i think it turned out well. I haven't used 3m or Avery or any of the bigger name brands so i'm not sure of the differences.

Good luck with the rest of the project.

Wow that's amazing for a first timer. You and your friends got a lot of courage for tackling such a massive project on the first try! Good luck and please post the final product when done!

bimmette · 04-17-2016, 01:30 PM

Great color! Good luck with the rest!

jyjimenez3 · 04-17-2016, 03:54 PM

this is how she's looking , made slight mistake on the other side. took the wrong measurements

, but we are placing orders for another sheet.

It is hard to capture the actual color because of the lighting and that my phone sucks lol.

NocturnalEVO · 04-17-2016, 04:29 PM

very very impressive!

Care to share what your overall steps are in preparing and applying vinyl to each section?

Can't wait to see the final product!

Are you planning on leaving the roof and door handles black? I suggest getting some gloss black wrap for the trim pieces as well instead of the OEM silver...and color matched side reflectors

jyjimenez3 · 04-17-2016, 07:07 PM

haha yea im leaving the door handles, mirrors, and roof black. yea i will deff have to wrap those awful side reflectors!!

as for the trim idk if i should plasti dip it or just vinyl it like you said.

Grip Grip · 04-17-2016, 07:29 PM

Very nice work!

mashimarho · 04-19-2016, 03:37 PM

Looks good so far!

SMH · 04-19-2016, 04:08 PM

Looks great!

puppydax · 04-19-2016, 05:26 PM

Jealous, that's looks amazing. I can do most things mechanically, but absolutely cannot do wrapping or painting. Wish I had the bawls to do this, that blue is amazing!

jyjimenez3 · 04-20-2016, 01:44 AM

quick update .

sorry about the delay its just really hard balancing finals/term papers and school at the same time . we manage to finish the front bumper today. was really hard. we both got stuck and instead of ripping our heads off we decided to take a quick nap and start again over lol.

Rulz · 04-21-2016, 06:53 PM

very impressive job!! keep it up!
