header wrap
When installing header wrap is it better to remove them or just wrap them on? There is a kit from summit that includes a spray can of something, is it necesary or just for looks?

Far better to do it off the car. I think it would be impossible to do on the car anyway. Also a tip. Soak the wrap for at least 15 minutes in water before wrapping. The wrap will be so much more pliable. I really like the stuff

I couldn't even imagine how horrible that would end up looking. I used the exact kit you are looking at earlier this summer. Made by DEI. I used the spray. Now my header wrap is black. I think that's the only reason for it. I took Norval's advice and soaked the wrap before installing it. You should do the same.
