So you cut the edges flush? You don't wrap around the bends?

Take a square little civic and have that thing wrapped in no time.

He is a buisness, however he is just trying to show the process of wrapping a car.. He was doing his Z but customers come first so he is showing the process using a customers car

He is posting as an individual NOT as a buisness, the thread not meant to be advertising.. As he is aware that is against the forum rules without prior approval from AK. The local Z community here already knows about the buisness.. Most of us are close personal friends of James
