Best advice. Start middle out and don't assume a bubble will go away. You may think it's worked out, but comes back in the sun.you need to lift, heat and glass to get them out properly.
Love how it turned out...

Also wrapped my tail lights. Took a few tries, but it was the same concept as the full vinyl. I've sincere done these in gloss...

That looks great! I've got all the tools ready to go. I'll be using the knifeless tape on the roof as the rain channels do not have molding to tuck into. Also have a few curves on the car I want to do inlays on to accentuate the curves and lines of the car but I'm having trouble finding the color I want to do them in. The car is nebula space gray and I want to go a shade darker in matte so it isn't quite so obvious but just a little subtle something extra.
I'll be doing my headlights and tails in the next month or so also. I'll post pics as I make progress. Also considering wrapping the emblems on the trunk this weekend. the Lexus emblem won't be so bad but the IS350 badges are going to be a bitch. Considering debadging but I really don't want to on this one.
