Not hard at all. I would suggest you have an extra set of hands to pull vinyl tight. And a hairdryer will do the job to help stretch around edges and to pull out any wrinkles descending on material you're using.
 This would help you smooth vinyl as you lay. Or a creditcard but that may scratch vinyl. L99/TR6060 1LS swap in the making. |

Get one of those Plastic things with the soft material, will be very helpful as credit card, will probably cause damage. also, a sharp razor blade, to cut the excess off, nice and clean!
Good Luck :-) |

I would use 3M Primer 94 on the edges. Also. you need to post heat the wrap especially on the edges so it looses its memory. I post heat to 180-200 degrees using a laser thermometer and heat gun.

I was thinking about 3d..my only concern is I have a heat extractor & I'm concerned about the wrap being cut ware I cut out the hood ..maybe dubbing up in that area

You could wrap over extractor, heat edges and tuck with a card then cut inside under edges with exacto knife or something similar. |

Hood Wrap
Remove the heat extractor first. Just takes minutes
