Tarmac 88 "Button" GLTC/ST5/TT5

The hardtop and quarter panel scared me going into this. The hardtop was actually quite easier than I thought, as the radius of the curves isn’t tight until the B Pillar, and by there, the surface area is a lot smaller, so it’s easier to stretch/manhandle the material.

We can't all win the internet.
Awesome, glad to help! More on the way.

The pattern is printed on 3M, not Avery like the white. Then, it is laminated, so it doesn't 'breathe' out the bubbles and small wrinkles as quickly/easily, nor does it stretch like single layer color change wrap material. It is a whole different animal. By the time I reached the pink coner on the rear driver's side, I was more familiar, so that corner is perfect, but yes, there is a wrinkle on the 'power bulge'. I probably should have started with the door, or hardtop, but oh well. Luckily, the hood will be covered in "Tarmac 88", Keegan Engineering" class, number, etc.

After the solo attempt on the hood, I conned my cousin into swinging by yesterday to help me lay the drivers side as one piece. A second set of hands was absolutely amazing. That giant panel took us about 45 minutes.
Today I’m finishing up the last bits, hardtop, front bumper, wing.
im still undecided on cutting the rear bumper, but I have plenty of material if I want to wrap the whole thing.

Trying to balance the “keeping it clean” with “showing all the love to friends/partners/sponsors/sanctioning body requirements” is hard.
NASA minimum 10”x1.5” numbers are mocked up.
I plan to have a Keegan Engineering across the bottom of the door, the normal “MAZDA” on the qtr panel, Hoosier above the front tire, Tarmac 88 on the door, plus find room for 949 Racing, Supermiata, Xida, Singular, Trackspeed, Gloc and the WeDrIvEHaRdEr nasa stickers.
