True R Carbon Fiber 1.5ft x 5ft
Alright, let me start with saying that this is my first time wrapping anything. I don’t even wrap gifts lolWith that being said, I am completely amazed at how good this came out. Like, I really can’t believe I did this myself!I was very hesitant at first, but with a few DIY videos for tips..I’m extremely happy with the outcome.The negative reviews here talk about the adhesive, the vinyl becoming brittle, the vinyl getting wrinkled, but literally all of that could of been fixed with a handy dandy heat gun. Even a hair dryer.Some tips I learned and wish I could’ve read here were:- CLEAN YOUR ITEM THROUGHLYA simple wipe down with a microfiber won’t do the trick. Isopropyl Alcohol or clay barring will remove contaminants that would affect how well the vinyl sticks. Especially towards the edge or where you come to a fold.- ALWAYS USE A LITTLE MORE FROM YOU NEEDonce you measure out how much you need, cut off an inch or two more. This will help when you come across wrinkles, air bubbles, or “fingers” (big long wrinkles you can’t squeegee out) the extra vinyl, make it easier to pull up on your vinyl to squeegee anything out. It also helps when you pull on your vinyl, it prevents possible tearing. Also it gives reassurance that you’ve cut enough to be able to wrap properly around your edges folds or creases.- A HEATGUN/HAIR DRYER IS YOUR BEST FRIENDUse minimal heat. It helps if you pre-heat your vinyl before applying it to your object. It will become soft and stretchy so that when you apply the vinyl not only will it stick better but it will also become flexible and take the shape of your object. (Like curves, lines, etc) also, when you’ve come to an edge, applying heat there will cause the vinyl to naturally fall over the edge and will stick better.Did your vinyl get brittle? Apply heat!Did your vinyl get wrinkled? Apply heat!Do you feel like you didn’t cut enough and won’t be able to wrap around the edge? Apply heat and stretch!- DONT BE SCARED TO PULL OR LIFTThis is very durable material. But also don’t go to the extreme and over stretch.-KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON HOW VINY IS BEING APPLIEDIf an air bubble appears where you’ve just applied vinyl, it’s easier to pull back and work the bubble out, than to finish your wrapping and seeing an air bubble you missed located dead center on your object, making you basically unwrap your object halfway to get that bubble out Because you know it’ll bother you.You can use an old credit card or gift card (wrap the edge you’ll use with electrical tape to prevent scratching) or squeegee to assure the vinyl sticks to the entire surface. This also prevents air bubbles.- DONT FORGET TO POST-HEATOnce you’ve finished wrapping, apply heat to entire area you’ve wrapped. This is just as important as prepping the area you’re about to cover. Post heating will prevent the vinyl from trying to pull back and go back to its natural form. So with post heat you’ll know your wrap won’t lift or curl back. This is best with the heat gun, a hairdryer might be too weak for this one.I hope this helps! Enjoy!

I’m new
I’m new with this but I messed around with it on my interior car trim and it would just not want to stick, mostly on turns or bends so maybe I did something wrong but on flat surfaces it’s smooth.I did use a heat gun and did help

Cheaper than competitors for a reason
Vvivid deleted my review on their website so I'm posting on Amazon. I can't believe the lengths this company goes to, they can't take critical feedback.This is a review for the Premium +, not XPO.Pros: Overall, Vvivid has stepped up their game from XPO. The colors have depth and sophistication. The matte metallic's have the depth of OEM car paint because of the ghost particles. The air egress technology is a lot better than XPO as well. You can push down on air bubble and gone it goes. The Premium line up can also be wrapped over parking sensors based on other reviews. On my 328i comfort access doors, I could wrap around the door handles, and the tech would work perfectly. On XPO, this couldn't happen, not sure but this might be a Vvivid exclusive? Lastly, Vvivid's vinyl is a bit more brittle making it easier to cut after you've applied. They have Avery beat there.That's where the pro's end. Where Vvivid really loses out is in the installation. It's a horrible process. The initial tack is too strong for the installer to glass out. I found myself redoing each section that I had already covered and squeegee'ed. If you watch CK Wraps on Youtube, ( a big Vvivid endorser whose probably sponsored by them) he also has this issue. You'll see him go over again and again the same spots to get glass because the tack is so strong. I also bought a tack reducer to no avail. The tack reducer works, but you are still redoing area's you've already finished. It's a frustrating process, I haven't had this experience using Avery, 3M is a bit similar, but I don't remember the tack as strong as Vvivid's. I've also never had to use a heat gun as much as I have on Vvivid's.I had Avery Dennison car previously. It went on like a dream. Pressure sensitive adhesive and far more stretch capacity than Vvivid. VVivid's carbon fiber tore when I tried glass it out (Others have reviewed the same on this very site as well).I spent around ~$400 in total to wrap my 3 series. I regret taking down the Avery Dennison vinyl as I wasted ~ 25ft on just the hood itself. Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend it. If you have lots of time on your hands and don't want to pay a premium go Vvivid. They've got good colors, but you'll stress out so much on the installation. Other professional installers in my area have said the same.I'm taking my money back to Avery. Also, after deleting my review before letting me send them my order #'s was bad form and a slap in the face to a customer. I don't see why I'd buy from them again.

Quality is fine can't get the right color match
The quality is fine. Easy to apply but I've bought 2 colors: VViViD XPO Gunmetal Grey Carbon (too light), VViViD® Black True R Carbon Fiber (too dark). I want a shade between these. Rofus AI bot is too stupid to help and there is no way to contact the seller otherwise. The online images don't reflect the actual color well enough to make another selection. Maybe someone else can provide the answer or maybe the seller with see this review.
