    I've got vinyl coming in today to do bumper ends, grille, and bulge. I've never wrapped curvy pieces before so any advice or links is MORE than welcome and appreciated!!! Even on removal of the fillers below the headlights and the panel at the center of the front bumper ....I can figure that stuff out but tips/advice never hurts. Thanks in advance!

    Ytube and practice on a smaller piece or area. Takes time on curves to not over stretch and take your time. When I did my hood the 1st time was good but not perfect. After a month removed and went with a different colored carbon vinyl
