haha I wrapped my mirrors in oracle gloss black viynl.. It was hell, but stretches like crazy.. You did a good job op

Try regular 3mm vinyl without the air channels di-noc has. I have my mirrors in matte white avery vinyl. Very hard stuff to work with.

Your caps came out great!

i tried this as well few months back with some 3m vinyl and that stuff isnt easy to cover at all. OP's looks really really done well actually.

pe90zzi · 10-16-2011, 11:33 PM

came out pretty nice!

thetedderbear · 10-16-2011, 11:43 PM

These look great! My first thought was, that looks like something going on a Zonda.

i wraped my mirror covers in matte black 3m vinyl and i thought i was really easy to work with. all you need is heat and the vinyl wraps where ever you want

ibeclueless · 10-17-2011, 03:26 PM

gz... you make it seem like its a walk in the park... how did you get the curvatures and the opposite angles of the top and bottom worked out.
