For the rear bumper, did you stretch the top where the trunk meets the top of the rear bumper (U-shape area)?

The majority of the car you can wrap by cold stretching easily. The rest of the car, front bumper rear U shaped area and trunk is the hardest. It's a whole different story once the car sits out in the sun and cooks. It'll shrink the stretched area back out. So you defintely don't want to stretch too much. I tried doing the front bumper in one piece. I thought I did well on it. But when the suns cooks it. There's some parts I need to redo or redo the whole bumper. I haven't decided. Doing it in 2 pieces would be a good idea. The rear bumper I did great. But now I'm gonna cut out the piece in the U shaped area and lay down a second piece. The Trunk I defintely have to redo. That area where the license plate goes is tricky. That's pretty much the only piece I have to redo. I'm just not sure if I just want to cut it and add a second piece or try again using only one piece.
