Don't try making your Miata hardtop your first vinyl wrap project.

Don't also try making your shock tower brace your second wrap project after failing to wrap the hardtop.

Don't try wrapping anymore.

edit: this is not my hardtop.

Sorry, I just used an example image. My hardtop is still emerald green, the vinyl ripped in half while trying to remove creases.

Yeah, but that's just an example image. Didn't feel like taking a picture of a pile of ripped up carbon fiber vinyl.

That's sucks. Did you use a heat gun to help it stretch? I know vinyl is way harder to work with than it looks. My friend does tint and audio. He makes tint look so simple but he's been doing it for over 20 years.

Yeah, the heat gun didn't help. I think our biggest mistake was trying to wrap it in the middle of winter in a garage or never practicing before.

Oh, well don't beat yourself up about it. Practice makes perfect.

Well, at least it's vinyl and you can try again.
