    How did you get the edges to adhere?

    Im assuming you cut the vinyl to wrap around the backside a tad bit.

    Any help will be appreciated, thanks for the video!

    Hey brotha! I used a heat gun to soften up the vinyl, just be careful not to burn it. Once soft it wraps right around the corners.

    Once wrapped, just cut any remaining wrap from the back. And you’re all set

    I want to wrap more of my hood (because of glare) - have you done a larger section than that before?

    I’ve wrapped a whole hood before, but it was a smaller car. It’s not too too hard.
    Yeah the glare sucks
