It's more time consuming than it looks. Professionals really do make it look easy. I just take my time, especially with it being cold. I watched a lot of videos on common tricks, applications, tips, etc and that really helped out. I really liked CK Wraps videos as he explains a lot of the problems with vinyl and how to fix them. Also Arlon has a whole YouTube with diy videos.

The 1M bumper was really hard. Lots of inlays, so your not over stretching the material. Now that the bumper is out of the way the rest should be a breeze like the 1M fenders were.

Clear bra may be more difficult than vinyl since it's thicker.
Good to know! One of my best friends does vinyl for a living now so I might see if he'll just do it for me lol
