Suggestions regarding protective film?

[TRAKULA]

Howdy folks!

I am about to take delivery of my first Viper: a 2009 ACR ********. I'm considering having it delivered straight to a local detail center in order to have it filmed. Do y'all have advice on areas I should ensure get covered? Besides the standard front bumper and mirrors, I've been told to cover the entire rocker panels, behind the rear wheels and the wing. Does that sound about right? The car is black.

Thanks!

thats about it other than half way up the hood and fenders and a quarter of the roof

As much as you can... Behind the wheels, rocker panel, etc...

I would cover the entire car.

I would cover the entire car.

LOL! That would certainly simplify things in a way. I'd love to see the quote for that!

In Chicago while I was getting my stripe put on the shop had an Audi A-8 that they had completely wrapped in flat black. It looked just like a paint job.

Don't do what I did and forget the front half of the roof, have it covered now but a few chips from the track to live with.

I would also do the headlights and fog lights.

Congrats on your new '09. I wrapped pretty much all that has been mentioned but the roof. On my GTSs' I did get at least 1 small chip on each on the leading roofline above the windshield so it makes sense. My '09 had 800 miles on it when I had it wrapped and the only chip it got was on the wing.

I appreciate everyone's replies and suggestions.

If you can find a guy local to you that does not use pre-cut kits, this is the way to go. You will end up with a LOT less seams and visible lines. My current car has been wrapped in a kit: Nose, fenders, hood, side sills, and behind the rear wheels. It was put on by a good installer, but it has a lot more lines than my last car did when it was done "by hand."

Found another forum thread that shows the guy that did mine putting it on. Cool to watch, certainly an art form to it.
