Yes the 3m 1080 is built to stretch to contour to curves. I may use di-noc next time since the roof isn't that badly curved.

It was pretty easy to install. Its easier to remove the shark fin and the roof rails. Need 2 people to place the vinyl and spray generously with soapy water on both side of vinyl and use a felt tip squeegee to iron out the creases and bubbles. Take your time with it and be patient. Hope that helps.

I took it to a local shop for install, they told me that seibon it's usually the best cf they seen. They just needed minor adjustment( sorry cant eleborate I was not involved) . I did not used pins.. Feels pretty firm.. ( I have the aerocatch on garage just in case)I could send you a couple of picts to your email

Not sure what all went with your install, but are you still utilizing the OEM hood dampers? If so, you may want to eliminate these and use a single hood prop to keep the hood open (this will take away from added stress when closing the hood & causing it to mis-shapen over time). Same instance with utilizing hood pins compared to the OEM hood latch, which usually requires a bit of an added push to close due to the difference in weight.

Adjustments usually coming from the mounting points on the hinge, loosen/snug down & lower to check location placement, then adjust directionally and tighten down. Hood installs are usually pretty easy with quality manufacturers, its the cheap items where a lot of fitment issues come into play.
