Do you have a sunroof? How did you do the roof if you have one? Would I need to remove the sunroof to get it perfect?

I don't. Mine is just an 08 base. I would lay it down first then make your cut for the antenna then once you get it all laid out bubble and crease free then make a cut around the sunroof and make sure you cut enough so you can tuck it under the weather striping.

Here are some new pictures I took before I left. I finally got around to putting the wing, skirts and spats on. You can see as the angle changes so does the color of the car. It's much more effective in person but certainly I something I dig.

Pretty much set on doing this to my 02. Thinking going with a flat white. I've been reading a ton but have a few questions considering my situation.

When I bought the car the paint was in pretty rough shape, the clear-coat on the section between my pass windows and roof is starting to flake and there are some other spots that were bondo-ed and painted over. As far as I have read I think I'm going to end up prepping pretty much like a new paint job; super fine grit sanding, filling and fixing any dings or scratches and really cleaning the hell out of it. I know that if I don't do something where the clear is flaking the vinyl will be peeling off in that area in no time.

I have been around body work before and know my way around that side of things but any thoughts or ideas as far as making sure the vinyl will stick and stay would be appreciated.

And great job by the way, super motivating.

I am back but in a new color this time. I had left over material from wrapping a customers car so I decided to wrap my car with it. It's an Avery A9 Matte White Vinyl. If any of you guys need any vinyl wrapping done I can certainly help out!
In other news I am slowly beginning to start my part out and I looked to move on to something new and different. I have been considering moving on to an Evo X MR or a GT-R if I can float it. And before you ask, yes I am sponsored by Perrin as well as a few other companies.

Just let me know if you want to wrap your car I can do it for less than half the cost most places charge.
