Vinyl Wrap A Side Mirror Cap | Subaru STI

[@carlover4239]

Someone commented on another video saying you were ruining the wrap market. The exact opposite for me. Your videos have made me realize the true skill it takes to get a great job. Definitely going to spring for an expert installer now.

[@wallymcguire2033]

A lot of guys that are deciding to wrap their own cars after watching these would probably never spend the money to have it done professionally anyways. They’re only doing it because it looks interesting and they want to try it themselves. Besides that, who says these other guys get to “own” a skill, and get to shut others out just so they can maintain a monopoly? Watching professionals work definitely shows their talent and how difficult this stuff can be. But if someone wants to try it themselves, go right ahead.

[@chrisguzman7926]

@@wallymcguire2033 agree same reason why I did it my self and watching this guy's videos for a few months now I went for it and it came out super cleannnnn

[@lemur2870]

@@wallymcguire2033 I'm a bit in the middle, I would quite happily pay someone to do a job for me, in this example wrapping, but I will almost always try myself first. If I feel I might be able to do it myself, I'll always try. It's nothing to do with the money, it's all to do with the pride and passion for doing something myself and expanding my knowledge and skills

[@esc5085]

"professionally done" just means done well anyone can do a "professional" job ive done my side mirrors rear lights and headlights, they dont look perfect but for my first time EVER doing it i say it looks decent

[@chrisguzman7926]

@@esc5085 bro same with my wrap I've finished the majority of the wrap and it looks pretty good for my first time, surprisingly no wrinkles and stuff except my hood which I did late at night and with terrible lighting

[@haidarscheik8162]

Thanks for making it look easy, now it’s time for me to go home and rage for the next two hours attempting to do what u did 😭

[@TheMPDrums]

Tried to wrap the mirror cap off the car and was a disaster... Watched your video and followed your technique and it was super simple. Thanks man!!

[@tomxxx5039]

Same story here , now here I am learning 😂😅

[@XthTerrorOfDeath]

"Failproof" You underestimate my power.

[@Gagliano17]

so from what i've seen, i just need to find an subaru sti who has his mirror caps wrapped, pop it off in 3 seconds and boom i got a fully wrapped cap, thanks!

[@fgillusionz4912]

Love how you explain as you actually do it, too many people explain what they do before or after and it just doesn’t click sometimes. Good work 🤟🏻

[@alexread2838]

I’m doing mine this weekend got carbon fibre vinyl 👏

[@APeopleP3rson]

How'd it go? About to do mine with Vvivid Tek R.

[@DomGrady97]

I wish I would've seen this before I wrapped my mirror caps lmao this is insane. I might take it off and retry the ol' wrap. The only thing is it's cold as sheeet outside

[@Srguerramexico]

You make it look easy, buddy.

[@LightspeedGaming]

I should have watched this first, tried doing mine yesterday and I started the wrong end and got stuck on the outer point 😭

[@klutch14u]

Great video. If you have black textured caps, do they need to be sanded down first? I don't want the texture to transfer to the wrap although the mirrors I'm dealing with are a very fine texture and not super rough.

[@K03sport]

wrapping this Subaru WRX mirror cap is relevant to my situation....adding mirror turns to a base WRX and the new mirror caps are unpainted. I couldn't decide whether to wrap the cap with a satin nickel or spray paint. Both methods seem 'easy' enough.

[@Jonty161]

The magic is knwing how these things come off

[@omarspost]

Maaan, this goat makes it look easy.

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

Top quality results. I done my Audi door pillars in a carbon wrap but didn't know about heat gun, so I've got slight creases around the inside curve, as mines only self adhesive sheets can it be heated also

[@cpr336]

I am going to start on my car...your videos are giving me confidence...would u suggest using a exacto knife

[@nassuel4522]

I thought this would give me confidence to wrap a side mirror. I can already see me struggle for a couple hours lol

[@robbiexiong3508]

You made it look so easy. I suppose it's also harder to do when it's cold as the vynil gets cold fast. I'm gonna do the other side during the hottest time of day tomorrow in the 🌞

[@tonykiratsous6390]

A professional always makes a difficult job look simple.

[@Reeves1770]

please show how to on a 2014 style GM mirror cap. i've tried doing 3 different ways with one piece of film and still failed.

[@shibainuhodler7255]

I feel like I stretch mine way less than you and my shit be ripping holes in it. I got the vvivid piano gloss black and had it 85% done and yanked a hole in it. Gonna have to order more now 😂.

[@PlatinumPeasant]

When wrapping door handles and mirror caps, is it common to hear an “expert” installer say they have to wrap it in “multiple” pieces? I had my truck wrapped and he had to do two pieces for the mirror and three pieces for the door handles and claimed that they can’t be done in a single piece. 21’ F150.

[@mickmc1498]

Do you think motorcyles are harder to do. Really struggled and feel i am not stretching the material as much as you. I give another go LOL

[@Sd-cars-detail]

I was trying to learn from youtube now after this video i’m definitly going to school to educate myself for this because it’s not like just pasting stickers ...

[@rodrigobirruete9538]

Ck wraps on Gang 👍

[@sepehr_moghani]

Damn! You’re good 😁

[@michaeltweedie7059]

How did you size up the vinyl to the size of the mirror? How much excess should you look to have?

[@axelst.776]

Watching the videos now is a totally different ballgame. Thanks for everything!

[@ChefBoyarDEEZ]

I wish I had found this video before I wrapped my mirrors. Cheap Amazon wrap and to much stretching. After a day the wrap is now shrinking and the red paint is starting to show. And I did it the exact opposite direction that he did. I already ordered a new roll of VVivid meteorite dark Grey true r carbon fiber with air release.... Whatever the f*ck that means, I just hope it's better than whatever I got the first time. I'm pretty sure it was more so my technique, or lack there of since it was my first time ever.

[@rodolfogarcia1047]

Man, You are great professional. I'm from Brazil and always see your videos.... I would like to wrap my Nissan kicks side mirror...Do you think that is possible in one piece too and in the same way that you did?? Please.

[@АлександрГаврилюк-е4о]

Bro you are fackin magician! Great job! Thx for your video’s! Don’t stop!

Mazda 3 mirror cap is hard. Ill get it one day.

Should show how you did the front bumper

[@randomrangoon5476]

I've been trying to do this on an xc90 and have honestly failed each time which sucks. Lots of vinyl wasted unfortunately.

[@gl5960]

Enjoy all of you videos. I tried wrapping the mirror caps on my car using vivid carbon fibre wrap. I got the top part nice and smooth, but just could not get the vertical down part off the cap smoothened out. My mirror cap is the same shape as the one you have on this video. I could not get the whole thing smooth in one shot like you did. I tried heat and stretching it out, but could not get it. Any other tips? Thanks

[@TroughtLikeTheFish]

I’ve used that same vinyl on a hood wrap and it was the hardest material I’ve ever worked with. Took almost 3 hours to wrap that hood with two other people, one of whom wraps full time. I couldn’t imagine trying to wrap a side mirror with that stuff lol

[@rickydude2001]

you're the man..nicely done

[@TrancEFreaK1407]

Love your work mate!!!

[@andrewpagett3753]

can you do something with a turn signal light in the mirror cap? I have a 2021 crv hybrid and tried wrapping it so many times its beyond frustrating. @ckwraps

Does anyone know how much I need to buy for both mirrors ? What size

I’m trying to wrap my side mirrors and I have tried once already. It didn’t come out that well. They are fixed which makes it harder.... any advice?

What brand vinyl is that ?

[@easidaz]

Bruh....u made it look so eazy. I spent like 3 hours on mine 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@MrAnthony992]

I cant get it on my 2017 Altima Its mirrors caps are so curved and has like a dip as well, where bubbles tend to form. I pretty much waste like 30 dollars worth of vinyl wrap.. x( How much does it cost to get them wrap by professional?

[@jesuslima408]

I just did mine but man was it hard and for me i had more trouble with wrinkles then bubbles but i went to a professional shop to get my trunk nd i had asked about my mirrors nd he said he wud of charged me 40 each mirror

[@ReedikTuuling]

Can you get vvivid vinyl in Europe also? Shipping a roll from Canada is not the cheapest

[@matt.My_81]

theres a few places in the UK that ship to Europe. im having that issue because i live in italy and they only use 3M..

[@ReedikTuuling]

Thanks. Care to share those places. Ordering from UK is about the best I could hope for.

[@HiyaImBrandon]

How much wrap are you using for the whole car? The length

[@CKWraps]

5x75 feet for nearly all cars. This will leave you with extra if you don't make any mistakes but you will have extra in case you make mistakes

[@kaitlinmccarty2134]

me thinking i could do this then realizing i can’t even get my screen protector on my phone without bubbles 😩😩

[@mark00jones]

I think this will get wrinkles or shrink after some days or maybe in 48 hrs

[@CKWraps]

It's not possible for it to shrink since I've already shrunk the film around the edges. I have door handles going on 4 years that were wrapped like this and still no issues

[@mark00jones]

Recently I wrapped mirror in 5d gloss carbon ,but it started to lose the wrapped shape and got wrinkles fully!🤔

[@CKWraps]

What brand of vinyl did you use? Mirrors are also one of the most common areas of failure

[@mark00jones]

It was some Taiwan make , unbranded
