Hey man, I bought the 5D stuff from your link. When you did the mirrors, did you start from the middle and go out or one side to the other? Did you have to make any relief cuts to get it around the deep mirror shape?

i'm trying to remember. i started in the middle first working left to right. than over the top of the mirrror. than did the bottom. no relief cuts. the vinyl is very workable when using a heat gun. just work it until it holds. like i said, took me a couple hours on each one so don't rush it

So I ordered the 5d glossy carbon fiber vinyl and being the crafty guy i am i'm going to wrap it! At the same token I'm going to wrap my mirror caps as well! I'll use Chemical Guys Clean Slate to remove all the old wax from the mirror covers. I'll post some pictures when I'm done.

I like how the outcome came out!! Good job
