I'll get a picture posted up of the area I'm talking about in a bit. With plenty of heat I should be able to get it to form to the area that I need it in.

That turned out great Tara. I've got some shots somewhere of my E93 trim I wrapped in matte black. Right before I sold the car, I noticed that the edges of the vents started coming apart. I'm thinking I needed more relief cuts and heat on the inside edges. Oh well, it was my first wrap job and the car is gone now so I don't have to look at it anymore.

I used to install car audio and detailed cars on the side. I've still got tools that I haven't used for the first time yet.

I have to say I was a little skeptical of his work on the first video I watched of his on wrapping a shark fin antenna by having a seem in it. After watching more of his videos, he is definitely a master at his craft. I've learned a ton by watching his channel.

Don't know why I didn't look there first. Thank you!
