dang that looks really nice. is that your M3, Louis ????

Of course that's not my M3... For that kind of money I would get a pre-own Boxster/Cayman or even 911...

You don't need a heat gun for installation, this thing is not vinyl but fabric so it can stretch on its own. It's not that hard to install it, really depends on the shape of the thing you want to wrap. For example, the lip is much harder than the spoiler IMO.

Tony, can you tell Kevin how much the material is?

dude that's very good idea lol.... it streches so you will be able to move after you apply this on your body...
lol, i wrapped my iphone too.... it is addictive
i wraped my iphone case with it lol so it looks crapy but case became lot more stronger....

yup just like louis said no heat gun is needed for installation unless you're trying to shrink the winkles on some curbs it does shrink a lil but i won't recommend for beginers to try to shrink it. since i've tested with heat gun directly on it with 800 f degree's it shrunk a bit and started to melt. some spots i cut and overlap since it's stronger, not bad look then what i thought it would be. also it looks lot more clean and since it's black and carbon pattern won't show the overlap unless you look at it really close.

ohhh and kevin it's $50 /yard (54inches wide)
just to give you an idea it will take 2 yards for roof, hood, other small stuff is mostly 1 yard. for bumpers and stuff since they're long if you want to wrap it with out using multiple pieces it will take 3 yard. so let me know

no it's not his m3 and for install small stuff is really easy...
you really don't need heat gun since it's opposite ways to wrap then vinyl.
the price is set and it's $50/yard. i've talk to the carrier since they did wrap the full car.
roof and hood(big stuff needs 2 yard unless you don't mind overlaps...) and almost everything will be covered with 1yard
but only bumper cover takes about 3 yard if iyou don't want overlap. but to be honest with you kevin bumpers are really hard to wrap since they got lots of curves and cut outs might consider lots of overlap on the bumper if you want to wrap the bumper but it really don't look bad at all i've tried on my front lip with 2 piece also my firend did 3 piece on his spolier on 350z and it doesn't look like it's been overlaped and if you get closer it looks like added line on the spoiler. well kinda hard to explain but it's upto you. you might want to check out. i was about to show it to you at peter's wedding but you didn't show up with uhaul lol....
