You can get it pre-cut, or use knifeless tape. You just carefully put the tape where you want to make the cut, put the wrap on, and then pull the string inside the tape, giving you a perfect line.

It's not that hard

A color matched OB duckbill spoiler was my first mod. I think it looks cleaner with the trunk release button matching

Hey hexotic, have you considered wrapping your lower rear bumper in either CF or flat black?

Here's an example of each:



or maybe just simply get a nice diffuser

It's December 10th, and I just washed and dried my car in the driveway.

December 10th. Man, that's freaky.

Anyone else still have their summer rims on? Mine come off Sunday.

^^I’ll have my stock 17’s as my winter wheels (I’m currently running all season tires right now, but will be picking up some used winter tires from Craigslist this weekend)… we had some cold days here in CT last week, but I know it'll get worse. When spring comes, I’ll put on my 19’s

Same here... OEM 18" sport rims plus blizzaks for winter. Got them all cleaned, waxed and ready. I use 15mm spacers during the winter with those rims, becuse of the drop. Looks pretty good, actually, dropped and spaced.

I think tomorrow i'm going to clay and wax the sides and rear. Might as well.
