Glad to see another apatel on the forum lol. I am actually looking into this as well. If you did wrap it do you mind sharing approximately how much it cost and where you got it done? If you did it yourself kudos to you

How did it turn out as far as the really aggressive angles on the front and rear bumpers?

I had my WRX wrapped in 3M 1080 scotch print in the Matte Black (what brand did you use?)

Looks really well done! Do your parking sensors work through the wrap?

The dipgun is right next to the car. Hope you get it off without clear coat damage, had to repaint one of my cars after plastidip ate my clearcoat.

its dipped i tested an area for a while and didn't damage the clear coat. so hopefully the rest of the car shouldn't be an issue. i bought the dip releaser as well helps clean up! and as far as the soda goes its all for the store lol

i wrapped my old e92 with a buddy of mine and it took forever we used 3m and i did a matte orange. Dipping just seemed like the easier route

it was difficult to tell but yah after all those spray marks and the spray itself, i realized it wasnt vinyl in the background but actually blue painters tape with plastidip. but anyways the corners i had to use just enough heat but not too much or u get those wrinkles 3m is a great choice!
