You wana do another one lol?
I put masking tape on a metal 24" ruler. Layed the ruler on top of the CF vinyl and cut the edge off with an exacto knife. There is not much shrinkage. More like stretchage. When the vinyl heats up, it stretches quite abit to conform to the fins. The biggest problem is after the stretch on the fin, it has to shrink back to the regular curve.

No way in hell would I do another one. Not even for $$$$$$$$$$$$$. LOL
It took me 7 hours. I had to jack the car up and still ended up with a sore back for days. I almost gave up half way through when I reached the fins.
