I'm not a fan of the faux wrap but if you are going to do it, clearcoat it.

I dont think you can clearcoat that stuff. Ive found that anything on it changes the way the light reflects off of it and it just turns out looking black.

thanks for the comments
and for the clear coating, i dont think i will be doing that. i've seen number of cars that did small portions and the whole car without clear coating it. i hope i will be okay haha |

I think clearcoating it would make it look more like a panel and less like a sticker.

Now do your fangs and rear diffuser so we know if it'd look good or not.

NYbladeZ, I work with carbon so I got some of this vinyl and tried resining over it to see what happened. It lost all definition and turned just black. I peeled it apart to see if there was any chance the epoxy "ate" it but it was still fine. I did the same thing with some rattle can clear. Once you got enough on it to get coverage it was black, no more weave look visible
