I did all the cutting free hand. if I had intended on doing that on panels I probably would have used cut tape but the letters were not bad at all. took me about 2 hours. was actually easier than I thought it was going to be based on some other stuff I have wrapped

The guy that did mine, cut free hand as well. Do you have more pics? Like a side shot to get a better view?

Looks great. Can you tell me what size roll you purchased? I see the 1x5 roll out there and wondering if that would work given the amount of stretch when applying or if you recommend a larger sheet that fits the project before stretching.

They b pillars are very soft and scratch easy, which also means they're easy to polish. I posted a thread showing how much of a difference using a cloth with meg's ultimate compound made on them.

What is the color of the wrap material you used? Is it also 3M wrap material?
