GT3 Cup Spoiler Vinyl wrap

Wanted a more beefier lip than my current GT3 lip and decided to go with the GT3 Cup spoiler. There are a few choices to make regarding the finish. You can leave it as stock, paint it, or wrap it in vinyl.

I've never wrapped with vinyl before, only just used it for cutting decals on my plotter. I knew the angles would be a challenge. For this project I recommend having a second person hold a heat gun/hair dryer to facilitate stretching and fitting the vinyl more precise.



Once trimmed use a pin and pop any remaining air bubbles to flatten out.
The final product looks like it came straight from the paint booth. I don't have to worry about scratches since I can just re-wrap it.

The results were better than I expected... I think I will try next to vinyl wrap my center console in red.

I added this spoiler too. How was it to wrap. I think I might do it to my old one whicH is pretty dinged up.

You need patience around the corners to mould it without any creases. A heatgun is necessary plus an extra hand. I definitely want to try wrapping some interior parts. Its very hard to tell the difference between a painted finish and a wrap.
