VViViD® XPO Red Carbon Fiber Wrap Vinyl Roll with Air Release Technology (1FT X 5FT)

Step 1: watch a bunch of vinyl wrap hood install videos (they're mostly on flat hoods w/o vent holes) step 2: re-watch for tricks and tips. Step 3: Flush all that info and then listen to your designer and pattern maker wife on how to cut and install. life will be better as will the end result. Oh, the wrap itself is good stuff and looks great. use water or the recommended solutions to help with application for easier adjusting. its pretty sticky to work with when dry. Will shrink some and open a gap if you mess up and cut thru both sheets on an overlay install. Bought the red to cut to 3/4" strip to cover some small cut thru gaps and outline the blue. Will upload additional pics when that is done.

I own a 2019 Honda CRV. I absolutely hated the fake wood paneling. I've never worked with vinyl before. I watched a singular video on how to apply this specific vinyl. Another review complained that the vinyl was too sticky. I do not share this sentiment. I was able to pull it off and reapply as needed. I used a heat gun to form the edges and make them stick down after I trimmed. I also prepped using alcohol. Another review said the bubbles were an issue for them. However, I noticed that it really depending on how you lay the vinyl down. Doing it in sections and smoothing it from the middle out resulted in zero bubbles. Overall, any issues I had were user error. I'm also a female with long nails, so that didn't help. The nails part not the female part. Ha ha. But still, I'm really happy with how it turned out and it was far cheaper than getting the stick on overlay. 10/10 would recommend. Definitely get extra for any accidental ripping. (Heating and pulling too much. Just be easy and slow)

First of all I want to start off that the color is rather dull not as shiny/bright as it looks on the photos on Amazon. So I don’t really like it. Even the photos that I took myself do not represent the real color. Regards the application: This was my very first time, besides small stereo button, applying vinyl to a complicated piece. I somewhat purposefully wanted to do so, to understand how the material works and how much I can stretch it etc. So I learned a lot. It does stick well, maybe too well, it did pull off some of the finish but mine was already bad so I did not care, and once you get your bubbles out, they stay out. Negative side is, that it does stretch quite a bit but it will not hold. I later learned that actually it is not the so great idea to stretch the vinyl, it’s better to do inlays and overlays if you are dealing with big curves. It did made sense after my experience. I think my first try is actually acceptable, so I’m very encouraged to do it again and apply the Burgundy color from the same company what I like. And again Burgundy Vinyl based by their photos looks a lot darker then it is, so the shade actually is something that I absolutely love.

I bought this in both red and black so i'll just be posting the same review for both colors and hope Amazon doesn't think I'm stupid. This vinyl was great to work with. I did a full hood strip on my car with it and had no trouble with bubbling or sticking. It was very flexible and easy to use. I didn't need a vinyl applicator - my fingers were enough to smooth out the couple bubbles I experienced. I did notice when cutting it my exacto blade tried to track the carbon weave pattern. Be sure to use a very sharp blade and remember that slow and steady wins the race.

Vvivid deleted my review on their website so I'm posting on Amazon. I can't believe the lengths this company goes to, they can't take critical feedback. This is a review for the Premium +, not XPO. Pros: Overall, Vvivid has stepped up their game from XPO. The colors have depth and sophistication. The matte metallic's have the depth of OEM car paint because of the ghost particles. The air egress technology is a lot better than XPO as well. You can push down on air bubble and gone it goes. The Premium line up can also be wrapped over parking sensors based on other reviews. On my 328i comfort access doors, I could wrap around the door handles, and the tech would work perfectly. On XPO, this couldn't happen, not sure but this might be a Vvivid exclusive? Lastly, Vvivid's vinyl is a bit more brittle making it easier to cut after you've applied. They have Avery beat there. That's where the pro's end. Where Vvivid really loses out is in the installation. It's a horrible process. The initial tack is too strong for the installer to glass out. I found myself redoing each section that I had already covered and squeegee'ed. If you watch CK Wraps on Youtube, ( a big Vvivid endorser whose probably sponsored by them) he also has this issue. You'll see him go over again and again the same spots to get glass because the tack is so strong. I also bought a tack reducer to no avail. The tack reducer works, but you are still redoing area's you've already finished. It's a frustrating process, I haven't had this experience using Avery, 3M is a bit similar, but I don't remember the tack as strong as Vvivid's. I've also never had to use a heat gun as much as I have on Vvivid's. I had Avery Dennison car previously. It went on like a dream. Pressure sensitive adhesive and far more stretch capacity than Vvivid. VVivid's carbon fiber tore when I tried glass it out (Others have reviewed the same on this very site as well). I spent around ~$400 in total to wrap my 3 series. I regret taking down the Avery Dennison vinyl as I wasted ~ 25ft on just the hood itself. Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend it. If you have lots of time on your hands and don't want to pay a premium go Vvivid. They've got good colors, but you'll stress out so much on the installation. Other professional installers in my area have said the same. I'm taking my money back to Avery. Also, after deleting my review before letting me send them my order #'s was bad form and a slap in the face to a customer. I don't see why I'd buy from them again.

Nice looking and goes on easy. I dinged it for colorfastnes. Looks good for about 6 Mos and then starts to fade to pinkish red. The red carbon fiber has been applied to the interior door handles of my car which has ceramic tinted windows. I'm not sure if the color fades do to UV or heat. I have replaced the red trim on the dash to black which does not fade but does not give the contrast I wanted from the first installation.

love this brand, good adhesion, durable vinyl. easy to apply, easy to cut, I can't say enough good things. FYI this 3d material does not to stretch much. plan accordingly.

Easy for a first time wrapper to use. Wrapped the hideous chrome and interior trim pieces in my new Accord. It was my first time vinyl wrapping interior trim pieces so I decided to practice with something cheaper before going with the more quality 3M wraps. I gave this VVIVID wrap a go and it looks so good, I don't plan on removing it or replacing it with a more expensive wrap. Yes, I know there are some imperfections in these pics but that's my fault. This vinyl is a breeze to work with if you have a little patient and the price point seals the deal.

Excellent

Color is not red, it is very light red, and doesn't stretch well, or stick well

Good wrap, the only downside is that with deep curves it unsticks. Using a heat gun, re doing it, stretching, seems to not fully stick on properly.

Great quality so far, been on the car for 1 month and it is holding on color is still vibrant.

Absolutely terrible product. It is super thin, creases really bad and does not stick well at all despite proper cleaning and prep of the area. Thankfully only bought this for a small project for my kids, which this didn’t even work for due to the horrible quality.
