Anyone tried this DIY yet? Looks fairly simple so surprised no one has attempted (though I also recognize for a $70k+ car, paying a couple hundred professionally also makes sense..)

Hopefully getting mine within the next month.
For those wondering, I went ahead and did it myself. It was actually pretty easy, with the one exception being the curved back corner because of how wide it gets. But for $50 and 1.5 hours of time, I feel pretty good about it.

Looks great! Where did you get the wrap from?

Looks very good. Could please share what are all the materials you used? It would be useful if we want to try it as well. Thanks

Looks good. A diy job was my plan before the R1S delivery delete (until 2024 now)

Just bought it on amazon.

2 inches x 75 Feet 3M 1080 2080 Satin Black Vinyl Wrap Kit for Black Out Chrome Delete Window Trim Door Trim Free Tool Kit https://a.co/d/h7HwWXc

75 feet was overkill, but I didn't know ahead of time what I'd need. You could MAYBE get away with 25 feet, but it'd be tight. I think I'd go with 30-50 feet.

How did you achieve the corner? Looks great. I’ve never tried anything like this, so tips are appreciated. I have a long time to plan, but always worth collecting tips.

This looks nice. Any close ups? Interested in how the satin finish matches with the roof.

Corner does have some breaks in it. Not noticeable from far away, but you can tell close up if you're looking for it.

Also here's a picture of the satin finish. Gloss would maybe be a closer match. Again, not noticeable from far away, but you can tell when you look close, especially under my garage lights.
