How To Wrap Your Side Mirrors
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 бер 2017
- What's up guys!! Today I wrapped my mirrors in carbon vinyl! The wrap was cheap, about $8 and I was able to wrap both of my mirrors. To be safe I got an extra roll so it came out to be about $16 in case I made a mistake. This is a fun project and is very effective!! I hope you guys can all try it out. Comment down bellow if you guys have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them Enjoy!

thanks for making this. I'll be wrapping mine in a few weeks.
Gonna do this to my Volvo to add 0.75 HP, 0.67 TQ.
Thx for the upload man.
Got clear coat gone, and paint chipped. I think this will look great since I have a black paint job.
Simple and sweet, no BS video. Will def be taking apart my assembly to wrap around the seems like you did !
Awesome video! I’ll be wrapping my mirror caps and interior trim so I’m trying to learn how to do this in advance!
Great help I'm doing my door kick plate and door pillars starting to hydro dip parts and now for others want to see if you can notice the difference between them
You should've peeled of the protection layer :).
Use a felt squeegee and stretch it without heat. Lasts much longer, and shouldn't be a problem without the protection layer :).
Bro there’s a vid you want to use both hands i appreciate your video and effort I’m not hating just trying to help, proud of you for doing it yourself
beautiful job, im gonna do this to add 5 HP to my cx-5
pretty good for your first time doing this. I always no matter what I do struggle with the annoying bubbles on the mirror even with heat and air guns. It takes me a while to get it right. This method is pretty helpful
packisbetter90 I’m glad this video was able to help you out! Since making this, I helped wrap my friends car and he used a high quality wrap by 3M. It is much thinner and easier to work with than cheaper wraps such as the one I got from eBay that I used in the video! The next time you wrap something I would recommend checking out 3M !
2doorduude yah I am next time getting that stuff of eBay. They have 3d 5d 7d super glossy wrap which I like that comes in any size roll. Can't wait
well done m8. Thanks for the vid 🖒
Woo. Great Information
I had a dog named poppy that looked just like yours and he helped me with all of my projects too. Rip poppy

Glad you made this though, now I have the general idea of what to do. I hate the big channels that show you how to do it while using pro equipment and methods. I just need to cover a damn mirror.
i was doubting wether was worth it to mod my tsi or wait until i can get a R but your video just encouraged me to do so and probably the first thing im gonna do is the mirros!!
That's awesome Daniela, good luck!
Good video, doing my A1 tomorrow!
Awesome man! Hope it turns out well for you!! It will look awesome on your car
Yup. You have to take panels OFF of cars to wrap things correctly. I took all my chrome window trim off my X6 to wrap it to Shadowline spec.
I wish you would have showed how to unsnap the cap because you say all cars will be diff but I have a vw I'm trying to do and it would have been helpful to see you do it. But I liked the video
Did mine and lasted me 8 hours. Woke up in the morning and it had warped from rain.
That looks so fucking good! Just saved myself about 40$ with this idea for side mirrors
Vintage I'm glad the video helped you! Good luck!
Good job! I tried doing this on my Benz C Class mirrors with similar if not the same Carbon Vinyl because it looks so real but I failed miserably. The curves on my mirrors are too much and the damn LED turn signal is in the middle of the upper shell. *shrugs* guess I'll be ordering those $400 real CF shells....
Brett DiMichele Studios Sorry to hear that, I helped one of my friends do his car with good quality wrap. I think it was a 3M wrap around $60. The wrap he bought was so much easier to work with than the eBay one I used! If your car is curvy, I would recommend getting a more expensive wrap!
Yeah this ebay wrap is very thick and it doesn't like to conform to the compound curves. It's no big deal I had intentions on buying real CF mirror shells I was just curious to see if I could pull this off. I may actually use some of it to do the door post area and some other flat or non compound curve areas. Thanks for the reply and keep up the great work! :)
I tried doing my A class.. there really are too many curves and the lights 🙄
I did that to mine and i cutted just where the edges was and like an hour after the vinyl started comming off i guess i just have to keep on trying
Nice clean job on the mirror cap....:)
I tried doing my mk6 gti mirrors but I could get the wrinkles out towards the bottom.
Dope
How much wrap do i need for 2 mirrors
Why no more videos 3 videos 250k u should of kept going
How did you make your turbo flutter like that
It is completely stock. It always flutters when I put it in reverse lol
😂 cold start
*Bov on a golf, fkboi kappa sigma "dad paid for this" haircut, and doing this the exhausting way instead of pulling 2 screws out and removing the entire housing and reattaching them*
10/10 great vid man...
Haha, no blow off valve, I own the car, and I don't drink. Hope you feel better about yourself though :)
How did you make your turbo flutter?
My engine is completely stock. It does that every time I put it in reverse haha
Looks really good. Did it last awhile? Still on?
Thank you! The wrap is still on and looks just as good as it did when I put it on!
2doorduude how long does it last?
Did I hear turbo spooling?? How u do that?
It does it by itself when I put it in reverse 🤷🏻♂️
with a hair dryer?
I'm on a budget brother! Lol
Put some automobile varnish, the result will be very good.
If youre running with only the rear plate, why not take the front plate holder off?
I got pulled over for not having my front plate on so I was in the process of putting it on!
2doorduude oh right...... That sucks
How is it holding up?
It's still on and looks good. I'm thinking about re-doing it because the wrap is starting to fade, you have to really look at it to notice though. Really the reason for that is because I bought a cheap eBay wrap. If I were to do it again I would buy a higher quality wrap (anything by 3M), it'll last longer and be easier to apply! Don't be afraid to reach out if you have any further questions.
@@2doorduude I'm really afraid of taking off the mirror cap but that seems like the best way to do it xD
@@AW-gj4ji It's not hard, I promise. It is a tough cap, hard to break. Even if you do break it, you can get a replacement one for cheap online
The reason why your edge didn’t turn out good was because you heated it! You only use heat if it’s needed or else the wrap will shrink and your sides will not turn out good!
Your kidding about turning down headphone volume right.?
Yeah lol just a joke. She's in desperate need of a downpipe! It'll be coming soon!
2doorduude: ok bro lol thought I'd ask seemed a little quite.. great video btw
ikr, im like..oh shit lemme turn volume down another ricer..but then nothing.
wrap the top of your car roof carbon fibre 5D !!!
Will do, that is definitely on my radar!
I have no idea of what I'm doing and I'm going to make a video of it! Great idea dude!
Yeah that things LOUDASF! LOL
😂

Hahaha
Loud 😂
Step 1: DON"T BUY CHEAP, HEAVY EBAY WRAP!
The title should have been "how to not wrap a mirror" 😅
Haha, 3 years down and it still looks great! If you've wrapped a mirror before and have any helpful feedback I'd love to hear it so I can get better 😎
And thats not how you should fo that
Could you have played any more of an annoying music?
Probably 🤷🏻♂️
