Lip 3M wrap?

Hey guys just recieved my lip from http://www.extremeparts.ca the owner ended up being someone I knew from a long time ago.


^not my car, he sent me that pic not sure if the owner is from g35driver

Back to the questions is it possible to wrap the lip with clear 3M film?
(Fitment is awesome and really tight and dont even need 2way tape but after that tsx theif I think i'll be putting 2way tape everywhere)

I'll post pics after I install it

^I recall him saying its made of something like Duraflex
I paid $180

Apparently he's selling these like hotcakes, I was at his shop he had 5 of them, when I came back the next day he had 1 left which I bought

He also told me he's getting the Nismo lip very soon and he showed me a greddy front bumper when I purchased the lip, really nice bumper but too low for my taste.

If anyone is interested just say "Jindy gave me your #"

Definitely wrap it. I have all ny front end done, but did not do the lip and I did notice a few small nicks on it the other day.

Yes def get it wrapped.

FWIW....
You will have to get it done 'on car'
Shawn at the detail shop, tried to do mine before installing it on the car
& it was too much of a PITA to hold it down.

It was much easier post install.

^Thanks for the heads up, i'll probably end up taking it to 3M trimeline or a similar shop I sent them the above pic for a quote to wrap, they told me to wait at least 2-3 weeks since its been freshly painted

Another tip is, you will probably need to wait about a month after getting the front lip painted prior to putting the 3M wrap on it to allow the paint to cure. So get the lip painted, store it for about a month, then get it installed and get the 3m wrap...

You can install it on the car and drive it around and wrap it a month later, it's just that you will probably get some chips on it during the time it is unprotected.
