I did mine in my garage with a friend. Our biggest challenge was the rear bumper since it curves down so drastically. I found that the best things you can possibly do while DIY wrapping is to buy good quality vinyl (I went with Avery Dennison), have an adjustable heat gun, have a friend, and lots of patience.

I learned from CK Wraps. getting glass as he says on the vinyl will make setting that fender super easy. The outcome seems good but this was a little painful to watch on that front fender. I worry that some of those edges will fail. please keep us updated if that does happen.

It's a W if YOU like it! Not a fan of orange myself, but it's not my car. But big points for not going black/white/silver. Too many of those dull colors on the road already. It does look like a decent job though (helps to have a professional there!).

First of all thanks for all the vids, I have a 01 boxster s so I will be using all your vids. Some advice for your build tho....def need side skirts to complete the body. And last thing is wheels and stance. Wheels make a car nice and stannce changes everything. The wheels you have on now completely kill the car. 18 inch wheels and either springs or coilovers will give you that look I know yur going for. The car looks sick tho, but without wheels and a lower stance it won’t look the way you picture it in your head brother.way you thing

This is good info for me. My Silver 1998 looks very used. Weird dents, scratches and marks all over. So either I keep the old look, have it resprayed, or wrap it myself. The thing is I really don't understand why you wrapped your car though. It looked great to me. Your bumpers needed work but you wound up spraying them anyway. So unless Orange was your primary motivation the whole excercise, although interesting, seems redundant to me.
