I just might....


Joe, it is a very frustrating process. I helped 9Dreizig do a 930 this summer. He had bought some super cheap film though, and it didn't stretch well at all.

That being said. Good film(3M) does stretch well around curves, and there are only a few spots on that lotus that would be tricky. Just be sure to think about how the vinyl is going to bunch or stretch and how you need to work it to avoid that. For example the roof of a 911 you need to make one pass middle front to back and middle side to side to make a cross, and then start to work each quadrant down and work the bubbles and wrinkles out as you go.

If the paint is good, I wouldn't do it. it is a lot of work and you will go through a lot of beer in the process....
