I just need the dimensions of the entire hood and fenders. I am going to buy a bulk roll to cover the entire hood and front fenders. I am going to buy a pre-cut front bumper and grille though. If someone could just copy my image and fill it in with the length and width maybe? I used paint to produce this.

THANKS GUYS!

if you are going to buy a bulk roll then why even bother with the measurements. You will have enough to do two vehicles. Just find out the overall width of the vehicle and order a roll around that width.

Yes, I understand. I don't have my car yet to measure. The bulk rolls come in different lengths. That is why I need to know these measurements so I get the right width.

LOL Since the old adage that no good deed goes unpunished is validated time after time, I'm sure that now someone will flame this effort for not being completely accurate.

You are going to need 58" VentureShield for the job. If you dont have prior experience installing film I do not recomend you go this route. Bulking panels is not very easy and you can be out a lot of money very quickly. Why not get the full hood and fenders precut??? There are a few companies out there that precut the full hood/fenders kits and it would make the install much easier... even though I still do not recommend doing it yourself. I am just giving you my perspective as an installer.

If that what you want to try then check out StickerCity.com They have the full kits and their prices are very good.

I have only been able to find one place with pre cut hood and fenders and they want way to much. Stickercity only has pre cut headlight kits. I would rather find precut but I have not been able to find anyone online that offer the whole hood and fenders for a good price. I have worked with window tint and vinyl a lot. I have done some research and I don't see what would be hard about installation? Do you have any pointers or tips?

No, that is alot better price. I am kinda leaning towards VentureShield though. I have heard a lot of people having 3M yellow. Plus VentureShield has alifetime warranty.

Thanks for the help. If anyone knows other places that have precut VentureShield please let me know.

That's awesome. Was it on a white car? Did you have problems with dirt buildup at the seam?
