Sir,
Your write, after wrapping I hit it with the heat gun for a few min to see the effects. The edges started started to peal back and come apart so I used some of the epoxy to bond the edges of the wrap to the backside of the shroud. Then hit it again with the heat gun. Seems to hold fine.

I am worried about the heat too. Especially the main projection shroud. I want to see what the heat cycles will do to the vinyl. If it comes apart it will be an excuse to color match the lights to my rims.
