This may be a dumb question, but is there any possible way to remove the b-pilars to have a more precise wraping?

Nice! I should be getting my small roll real soon too. Can't wait to start my project.

Be careful removing the B-Pillar covers as I've read some folks breaking the tabs. Not that you can't fix it with some double stick tape.

I don't plan on removing mine to do the B-Pillars.

For the fangs, I had to do it in three pieces - the two fangs and the middle portion. I was in a rush to get to the movies, so I applied the right side incorrectly. I may have to redo that side if I get too many negative feedback. The b-pillars was cake to do. I haven't done the rear valence yet, but I imagine that it would take some patience to get it done correctly.

Not bad! Especially for first trial I think it looks pretty damn good!

Man, my CF roll tracking# shows still no movement.

I don't think it would be that big of a deal to pull it off and reapply fresh.

Thanks. The fangs were the most difficult to do. All the other pieces were cake. I got plenty of di noc left to do the interior. Should I attempt to cover my Nissan and 370z emblems or the mustache above the fangs?
