Wish I could see it better. Can you take a close up? Did you trim it on the car?

Looks great...been waiting to see this successfully done...those louvers are a pistol to cover smoothly....I've tried it before with no luck...closeups needed to prove you did it!

whoa...went back up to look...you covered the louvers, right?

Nice job but it looks like he cut it short above the tail pipes...you can still see some red up there. Nice job wrapping the louvers

Yes we talked about that and decided it would be to difficult to get his knife in that area to make a clean cut so that's what we came up with.

To do that area you would have to drop the exhaust to get clear access. Plus I'm not sure how the wrap would hold up to the heat.

Looks good!
