What I Learned From This 6 Month Project!
Within this episode,
I dissect my mistakes from the 6 month project and provide all the tips and tricks that I've learned throughout the journey.
At the end of the video, there is also a short cinematic video that my friend @spamsubie filmed, and I used his raw footage, color graded, and put them all together for you guys to see! By the way, he also offers his raw footage on his Patreon, which you may check out at the bottom of the description.
One thing I did forget to mention is how I cut the rear quarter panel wrap a little too short, and you can see bits of the primered surface when you look close at the wheel well, especially at 12:48. Other than that, everything seems to be generally ...

      The link in the description of the video links to the midwing, you have the option to order one with or without the cutout. However, the quality of their parts isn't the best and I'd probably just message this guy named Cemal who reproduces parts for the Z3 M Coupe. Purchasing through him will probably be sketchy, but I and many others can vouch for his credibility along with the quality of his parts when it comes to fitment. instagram.com/tripfcr/ facebook.com/cemal.akcal

      Currently running Ground Control Coilovers to get the desired ride height. From what I've heard, some coilovers may give you more or less room to work with on the front. I had a conversation with another shoe owner who mentioned that I probably could not have ran my front wheels if I had KW's vs my Ground Controls.

    • @thoas_
      @thoas_ 4 месяца назад

      If you're referring to paint/bodywork that is not original, then I'd say it's very dependent on the prep work that was done / the quality of work for the bodywork and paint. I've heard a lot of people say that you can't wrap over primer, but as you can tell through the video, I quite literally did just that. If the bodywork/paint was done poorly, then probably not. If it was done properly / well, then you should have no issues.

    Good recap! Inozetek has been well known to be difficult to apply and apply well. I have it on one of my cars done by an experienced shop and it's a pretty darn good result but after some time, similar to you, the film wants to come up from tucked areas because it just wants to be flat. The microscratching on it drives me a bit nuts too... At the end of the day good learning experiences and just have fun with things!

    • @thoas_
      @thoas_ Год назад

      Yessir!! I still believe it was due to me not post heating properly or enough on those crevices where I tucked the material into. In theory, it should lose its memory if I were to post heat it to a high enough temperature without burning the material, but I do agree with the micro scratching! haha

    • @thoas_

      The wheels are BBS LM, brushed clear faces, polished lips, with a double step lip! Front: 18x9 +31 (2.0" Outer Lip) [LM071] (245/35/18) Rear: 18x11 +11 (4.0" Outer Lip) [LM068] (295/30/18) So far the wrap is holding up quite well, it’s important to post heat it after you’re done to make sure it loses it memory, or to check if it’s laid on well enough that it’ll stay on as time goes on. I’m planning on making a video talking about my honest review of the build, and what I’ve learned / what I did wrong, over this upcoming weekend!
