  1. Hello Westo,

     

    The most important part of the install was actually letting them set for 12 hours or so without opening the window. This will allow the M3 double sided tape to fully adhere. If you still run into issues, try pulling slightly on them to make more room for the window. With some trial and error you should be able to get them to not interfere with window functionality.

    I did not remove any of the pieces. Although that would have made the process much easier. It took me about an hour to wrap it, specially since i wanted the pattern to match from the center trim piece to the left/right pieces. Because of the curvature of the trim pieces over the headlights, these need a little more time and attention while heating the vinyl to properly maintain the pattern without stretching the vinyl and causing it to warp.

     

    From what I saw, the center trim pieces is easy to remove. There are only a couple of screws and a clip to remove the center trim. The trim on top of the headlights also have screws that can be removed, however, one of the screws on each side is convered by the side fenders. I didn't see a way to remove the headlights without removing the bumpers, thus the reason why I decided to do it without removing the pieces.

  3. Hello Cassie,

     

    I had a Ford Fusion with the 19" wheels and the same happened when my wife took the car one night. They didn't really make a big deal about it. I had a couple of dents in the hood, road rash on all wheels, couple of gauges on the wheels plus a keyed door.. total damage came out to $214. Since I was getting another car from ford, they waived the fee.

  4. Hello All,

     

    Wrapped the top trim using carbon fiber vinyl. I did not take bumper off, simply wrapped all pieces as best I could. The most tedius parts were the trim above the headlights. It took me a while since I wanted the pattern to match from the center trim all the way to the headlight trims. I have to re-do the left headlight trim, since I ended up stretching a bit to much, which distorted the carbon fiber pattern. I also wrapped the ford logo. Overall I think it looks great. Will be doing the back Ford logo sometime this week as well. Vinyl specs on sig.

  5. dacurb, you most likely getting the streaks from the felt-like material that is located on the inside of the outer panel. If you lower your window you will notice it. As a rule of thumb, I try not to lower my windows after a car wash to avoid the streaks.
