Note: I bought this.. not a paid review or a comp'ed review. My own hard earned cash
I got the Model 3 bumper kit and the headlight and foglight kit. Why? because it was under 200 vs the 2K I was quote to wrap the front of the car. Why wrap? Because I drive out in sandy desert places at times and I take bo-annual road trips through AZ each year. Lots of opportunity for my paint to get blasted on the nose of my M3. Sure.. I could wrap the entire car or just the front but the paint is from 2019 and a bit battle scared already. I just to protect the most vulnerable locations against the casual dinging of sand and small rocks.
The ordering was brain dead simple and it arrived quickly. Each kit came a high quality pre-cut wrap, a small squeegee and small spray bottle. TWRAP has videos to install each kit and I recommend you watch them once.. I did the bumper first which required me to remove that junky stuck on license plate holder. I replaced it with a SnapPlate holder. What they dont recommend in the videos but I know from other detailing/installing videos is this.. I cleaned the bumper.. then hand polished with Adam's hand polishing cream to make sure it was clean.. then a light rinse and wipe down with a microfiber towel. That preps the surface by getting all the gunk off it. If you were super AR, I would say a wash down with 99% IPA but I let that go. I also polished the headlights and fog lights the same way.
The wrap goes on very easy IF you wet the bumper first IN THE COOL SHADE and then wet the wrap as you peel it off the backer. Peel a bit,.. wet it.. more and wet it. Then place it on the bumper and smooth it out with your hand and get a roughly alignment done. I started by the tow hook opening with the squeegy and slowly worked from center out to work out the water. DO NOT STRETCH THE FILM. I had the bumper done ins 10 mins.. start to finish.
The headlights were a bit more tricky since it's got a lot of curves and requires a touch of stretch.. just a touch. I anchored the far end ( towards cockpit) and worked my way forward. slowly working out the water. The foglights were dead simple to do.
Ultimately it took about 30 mins for everything. I found the kits to be super high quality, fit really well, nice rubber tools and good install videos.. Well worth the money vs the entire front wrap for an older paint job. You can barely see the seam on the paint and not at all on the head lights.
