Almost Wrapped Up!

We are so close to being done! I can literally see the finish line! in this video we get the roof, hood, trunk and side skirts wrapped and knocked out! The wrap is coming along much much nicer than I would have ever thought it would. However; I am still making some key mistakes with sizing and measuring but that is okay as we will get through it! We will also be wrapping the BRZ here in the near future after doing the STI. I promise you if you have been thinking about doing this, you should. At first it is a little daunting but as you go through you figure things out that work and that don't.

Definitely need to do the lip spoiler black! Will look great as an accent with the roof, shark fin, and rain deflectors. Nice work man! Definitely putting in some work 💪 💪 💪

[@Smeedia]

Thank you! And I'm on the fence after seeing the whole back end done but we will see what happens 😈

[@donaldgeorge6656]

That gray is incredible. I will say it again you are really good. The car is beautiful

[@Smeedia]

Thank you! And its coming out much better than I thought it would 🔥😁

[@DomzStuff]

The STI is looking sweet!!! Personally i would leave the tiny blue strip, i rekon it looks good!

[@csippola8]

Seconded

[@Smeedia]

Think I'm going to leave the blue 😁

[@HavokStrifeX]

Honestly, when you were like halfway through, I wasn't feeling it. But now that you're about done and went with that BLACK ROOF!!(ooooouuuuu!!), it looks killer. I was totally wondering if your BRZ trans wasn't jiving with the aftermarket parts. Figured it out though! Finally!

[@Smeedia]

Annoyed that the clutch fork would not work but its all good, and so glad that its all coming together 😍😍😍

[@gameface6091]

Loving the color! Great choice to do the roof in black and I hope you at least try the spoiler in black. I love my '18 STi in crystal black silica but once that paint starts looking beat up I might go for a wrap.

[@Smeedia]

Mine got to the point where it was loomong beat in some areas, may just keep it wrapped from now on 😅

[@karlpoglitsch1087]

Sharkfin is a tough one. Look into prestretch if you want to do one piece, otherwise two piece (flat back area, then the rest) it should look decent. The bumpers are a beast, look easier than are for sure, just stick with it. Doing mine in a week or so! Been planning on it, you're forcing my hand now, in a good way! Thanks!

[@Smeedia]

Just got the rear bumper done today all thats left is the front now, but that antenna did auck 😅

[@DJSAS]

Looking neat mate.

[@Smeedia]

Thank you! Do close to being done!

[@GoldensniperGaming]

Looks so good dude, these past few videos gives me confidence that I'd be able to wrap my car if I ever wanted to.

[@Smeedia]

If you want to i highly suggest it, definitely a learnong curve but fun to do 😁

[@birdnelson1187]

You know what would look good with the new theme? Gloss black framed emblems 👌

[@Smeedia]

Yessss!! I need to get some 😅

[@nathan_lbz9806]

Glad you're wrapping it. That's the first thing I was going to do when I bought it from you 😂😂. Even the exact color I was going to do 😳 weird. Seems like you're building the car for me lol.

[@Smeedia]

Haha minds are connected!

[@mikas9230]

Are you getting the eos r5 and if u do can you do a comparison with the r

[@Smeedia]

Yes i will be but prob not until the end of the Year 😢 thr 3800 cost is up there for me but I want 4K 120 and IBIS SO BAD!!!!

[@mikas9230]

Smeedia same

[@ningjai]

sick color!

[@Smeedia]

Thank you! 😁😁

[@do_italldayeveryday820]

Not bore amazing how you got the car rap and looks amazing great job love how is coming together I would love to do something like that to my subaru but not happening.

[@Smeedia]

Glad to hear and if you sver do decide to do it, its not as bad as people make it sound

[@godgivensti9745]

What was the total time you spent wrapping the car and what did it cost around. And were can I order good wrap? I've been looking at metro styling.

[@Smeedia]

About 4 days and around $800. I ordered through metro 😁😁😁

[@WRXMAN-ms2mm]

Behind every wrapper 🤣🤪 there is a " significant other" that pitches in to make things work. I hope you consider yourself lucky! One question though; what about the rim colour? Perhaps black to tie in with the roof. Rims can be wrapped too. If you can wrap a whole car what are four rims?

[@Smeedia]

Planning on staying with the white for now but I'm loving it and she is definitely a keeper!!!

[@subieevoeyes8355]

In that blue line cover it with some black maybe that looks better

[@Smeedia]

Not a bad idea, going to give it another whirl tonight 😅

[@VS666]

ha! you did end up going with a grey

[@Smeedia]

I did! I could not help it!

[@FenKooks]

God bless you, that does not look fun lol. I know you just ceramic coated your wheels, so I assume they are staying white?

[@Smeedia]

Yessir! The white looks good IMO with the grey 🔥😁

[@FenKooks]

@@Smeedia oh it definitely looks good, I was just curious. Good luck with the bumpers lol.

[@TheGeokaiser]

Are you done already!? Lol

[@Smeedia]

Not yet 😅

[@TheGeokaiser]

@@Smeedia dang nammit!! Lol

[@TheErikanderson]

That brown wrap is poopy

[@Smeedia]

😢😢😢😢

[@TheErikanderson]

Love you 😘

[@sn1z960]

Damn, clutch fork might be the issue? That is strange and a first I would’ve heard like you said. I like the nardo gray looking color myself

[@Smeedia]

I was confused with it being the clutch fork but good to know now 🤷‍♂️ and lovong the color as it all comes together 😍🔥

[@christopheresquivel4169]

That color is really 🔥 and honestly I was sad to see the big wing go 😔

[@Smeedia]

I'm digging the wingless look for now but definitely loving it 🔥

[@justinturner4850]

Bro your awesome. I appreciate that your honest about the things you had a hard time with so that we can learn and anticipate the problems. Especially for those of us who have the same chassis as you. Thanks for taking the time to answer questions and respond to comments. the world is kinda burning right now so some positivity and good vibes go a long way. -Peace from Maui🤙

[@Smeedia]

Appreciatw rhe kind words and dling what i can to help others out, always try to share some of the harder parts to try and help others avoid the same mistakes

19k SUBIES YES SIR

WHAT?! YOUR IN THE FUTURE! KZbin studio us freaking out 😅 tells me 18964, but I'm taking it because youtibr says 19K! 🔥🙌

[@christianm2303]

“tooooo the chennal!” Nice

[@VS666]

i had a similiar issue in my miata. it ended up being the clutch adjustment. i twisted the nut further down on the engagement switch under the clutch, allowing it to fully disengage

[@Smeedia]

Interesting 🤔 small weird issues that we run into lol

[@Krevalz]

We’re almost there! I seriously can’t wait to see the car done.

[@Smeedia]

Only the front bumper left now 😈🔥

[@Dokta83]

I wasn’t too keen on the grey, but after watching now it looks awesome!!! Love the progress!!

[@Smeedia]

At first when it was blue and grey I was too but seeing it come togrther blows my mind 😍

[@Dokta83]

Smeedia definitely! My 09 wrx is blue but the grey might catch on!

[@tommanning7337]

DUDE!!!!! Seriously, for someone who hated wrapping and had no patience, it is looking 🔥🔥🔥 You are banging this out, WOW!!!!! Ok, now I’m inspired, not gonna wrap my car BUT! I’m thinking about doing the roof cuz that black looks amazing. 😎👍🏻👍🏻ayyyyyyyy😂😂

[@Smeedia]

Do it!! The roof is not too bad and its kind of relaxing once you get moving through the car 🔥😁

[@patriharvey5467]

I say do the decklid in the black! Just a random guys 2 cents, but that’s my vote. I just bought a 2013 wrx hatchback about 3 weeks ago, it’s my first dive into Subaru and I am loving it so far. I immediately found your channel and have been playing catch up on a bunch of your videos ever since. I like to put them on during the day while I work from home

[@Smeedia]

Congrats on the car! And appreciate the support! If you have any questions feel free to reach out! 😁😁

[@Trunkline97]

Just from my personal opinion... the white wheels don’t really fit.. maybe it’s the spoke of the wheels or color. But I think bronze wheels or hyper silver wheels would match better.. but that’s just me. Otherwise everything looks pretty cool

[@Smeedia]

It looks good outside of the garage, but bronze or another would look solid 🔥

[@BlazeOn88]

I am loving the color. Should have done the hood scoop black, would have made it pop. What exactly is knifeless tape? I've never seen it used before.

[@Smeedia]

Its small tape that you put under the wrap so you can cut it without having to vut into the paint 😁 and i debated doing the scoop black 👀

[@Joolz1982]

Looking good. Interesting to see. Was gonna wrap my ripped up clear coat 2004 Celica face lift spoiler if can be bothered.

[@Smeedia]

Might want to sand it down if your going to just to make sure its smooth before putting the wrap down

[@scottmerz272]

Looks great !!!! Personally I think I would of done the mirrors and hood scoop in that black

[@Smeedia]

Doing the mirrors black, scoop decided to leave grey only because of the vents 😁

[@bradgreen987]

How about the hood scoop in black to continue the contrast, and trunk spoiler. Nice project

[@Smeedia]

I was contemplating but thought it would detract from the hood vents 👀

[@64percent]

You should throw a bit of primer on the edges where you cut underneath the hood vents

[@Smeedia]

I debated it but its aluminum so it won't rust, there is some touch up paint on it to make it blend a little more

[@brandonkinne9221]

damn this looks good. Did you think about doing the hood scoop in the black color?

[@Smeedia]

I thought about it, but thought it would be too busy with the vents on the car

[@TheRoyalPlum]

Bro you’re genius . Hopefully oneday you have a billion subs

[@Smeedia]

Can't tell of sarcastic or not, but appreciate the support!

[@jaime7189]

Looks great. You should do the side mirror in black.

[@Smeedia]

Decided I'm going to, doing them in the morning 🔥

[@gear4th206]

Deff have inspired me to wrap my subi 👌🏼

[@Smeedia]

Yessss!!! What color?

[@fixflickss]

Great job on the wrap...professional enough for me...How much does the total film required cost?

[@Smeedia]

It cost me right around $800 to do the entire car 😁 and thank you!

[@fixflickss]

@@Smeedia thank you...because of your confidence I feel like doing mine lol

You got it! 🔥😁

I sent an email but no replay because the weekend 😢 may be a manufacturers defect

And my oil light stays on but has brand new oil but as soon as I hit 200rpms it goes right away any idea on what’s wrong?

Smeedia do I need to get resistor delete? Or thermostat and have any idea why my oil light keeps showing up until I’m driving?

[@Smeedia]

What part of Louisiana?! I was up in Fort polk for 4 years lol. As for the funky idle whag have you tried already? I would check plug gaps. Coil packs etc. My buddys old 8 leaked oil from thr valve cover which caused his oil light to come on every now and then as well

[@chrisretro6952]

Smeedia I’m in Lafayette man lol and my oil light eventually goes away and I check it everydsy to make sure could it also be spark plugs? And what exactly is plug gaps it doesn’t leak it’s just coming on then going off like I feel like I need a battery reset or like a new sensor idk
