    No, I want to cover the scoop bump. Probably sort of a "V" stripe in between the valleys. Or I might get real fancy and cover just the scoop.

    Check out the vinyl tape razor stuff. You lay this down on the hood, place vinyl over it and bam!

    You will do great brother! Just take your time & plan your cuts. You are working with limited material.

    I ordered 5x2 like the original post and I still needed an extra foot or two to fully wrap the bumper. Pretty bummed it didn’t work for me. I did measure it and it was exactly 5ft

    Thanks for the tip! I will keep it in mind for the next one.

    Did you wrap your Subaru’s roof?

    Powder coat? I had my front bush bar done when it started rusting, a year later and it is still perfect. I am probably gonna get my rusty chrome rear bumper down as well.
