I'm no pro, but my buddy wraps for a living and I've hung around his shop enough to learn about vinyl wrap. They're using the squeegee before pre-stretch and not using relief cuts. On curved surfaces you should only squeegee once you get the wrinkles out. If they follow instructions they can find here on youtube they would be able to wrap this thing no problem. I still think they're better off painting it nardo grey and then adding clear bra or wrapping it in Avery Real D High Gloss Carbon Fiber vinyl.
i used to do wraps... the trick is to start in the middle and work your way out. the heat gun is only used for getting it to form around complicated shapes. try not to stretch it unless you absolutely have to. never ever work towards the middle .... always squeegee out or those creases start and if the adhesive touches itself at all its toast. another trick is to peel only half the backing off so you only have to manage getting it to lay smooth one half at a time. good luck!
Wrapping for beginners, same as tinting and even applying large stickers. Fill a spray bottle with warm water and a little soap and spray that on the surface first. It will prevent the vinyl from sticking. Then as you apply you squeeze the water out and it sticks.
Put soapy water under the wrap and then Squeegee it out. But why wrap your paint skills are on point. If it were me I would color match the panels to the blue on the seat belts and put a matching pin strip on the lip of the rims . Then everything would come together.

Get someone to wrap the hood in carbon fiber to match the wing! Also, I wrapped the roof on my car, you have to lift the vinyl off the car, pull it taunt and squeegee it down. I had the same issue on my first attempt!
Moze yeah. I understand though, the pro’s make it seem really easy. They say you want to make it look like it’s wrapped before you squeegee, but I had a hard time doing that, so the lift, pull, squeegee method worked well for me! Maybe @goonzsquad should let me do it... for free! 🤪

This thing was made to handle and hug curves, not go fast in a straight line. Hell let me know if you go and I'll come run with you guys!
@@jasonarap1512 Even if that was the case, you would need downforce on the front, not the rear. Pushing the rear end down during high speed passes will only make it airborne earlier. It's basic aerodynamics
I believe you have to use the heat gun to get the plastic warm and playable to use the tool to flattened it and press onto it good to have four hands and keep tension on the wrap while it's being layed and applied. .
A heat gun will help it stretch and bend easy and remember to stretch the wrap over the emtire object tightly and the heat gun and squeegee will push it all down amd get the detsils good
Just think of as a airplane airbrake. If you could maybe make a handle or switch in the cab to change the wings setting to make it like a veyron but dont let it get pricy
Put the wing straight it will minimizes air resistance for daily use but when you guys take it to the drag strip angle it down so that air resistance generates down force reducing the friction when launching the car
The car is lightweight you lose time from the rear spinning tires while the car is in its place and for the top speed the spoiler doesn’t have large surface area . Don’t throw 10 seconds to gain 1 second
With the wing flat, it won’t displace enough air to create any significant downforce until you’re going at a very high speed. I would go more aggressive with the angle to be sure that you’re maximizing your downforce at a lower speed like 40-80mph for example. With the wing flat you’re probably looking at your downforce peaking around 120-160mph. The time you need the downforce is around corners where you’re usually traveling slower.
Wrap the front, top and sides in a high gloss 5D carbon wrap to set off the rear wing and black wheels. Plus when the light hits it just right it will give you that Nardo Grey look as well. More bang for the Goonsquad bucks.........With a nice Goonsquad decal across the rear Wing would be 🔥
You guys rock. My 4 year old daughter loves Thomas and billy haha. Also make sure to put a resistor in the blinkers power supply line to slow down the blinker speed.
I have been watching all your builds, and I enjoy the channel a lot so thank you for making the content. Regarding the wing; flat for speed, and angled for downforce, you can also set it up with actuators so you can adjust it on the go from inside the car if you feel fancy.... ;) One thing that bothers me tough, is you guys got a bunch of track beasts, these cars are made for a track, the Corvette, the ZL1 the Viper, and the Goblin don't waste them on the drag strip.. take the Viper back to the road Atlanta, where it met the wall and became a salvage car... taking these cars to the drag strip, is like having a supermodel at home just to make dinner.... Set it up at Road Atlanta and I am sure several of the subscribers would join in, make it a Goonsquad meet, and lets trash it at the track... :)
Mr Weird yup flat for downforce at speed. That wing has a lot of kick even flat. GS even a degree of angle change will make a big difference at high speeds plus it doesn’t look like there is much aero on the front end to balance.
Hey guys, from an airline pilot, as far as the wing goes, mounting it at a higher angle will create more downforce but also more drag. Drag increases at the square of speed, so if speed doubles, drag increases four fold. At the speeds this car can go, it probably won’t affect things to much. For drag racing and some twisty roads, a moderately high angle will probably provide the best combination of downforce without to much drag slowing you down or using to much fuel. Great work! PEACE
Dam those are bright reverse lights. You guys are doing great looks like so much fun. I’m not able to drive because of seizures. Could one of you guys come over to my place and give me a ride in that bad little beast. Awesome gentlemen.
Just my thought, but I know close to nothing about cars. All the weight is in the back already though, so it makes perfect sense just looking at the car and visualizing pressure on the wheels from gravity and wind flow.
@@jzero32 I had a 2006 Cobalt SS and a center cap was stolen from our car. so we had the dealership get us a replacement it was direct from Italy with the made in Italy stickers and flag. the one rim that was shocking to me is the Rims for Lamborghini they are made in USA imported to Italy then exported back to USA on the car... but I wonder if you eat a lot of dust from them front wheels. as also them rear tires need to be 2 or 3 inches wider.
did u guys build that cage /frame or where did u guys got it from ,cuz even mounting spots looks like they were made for this type of wing mounting brackets
The way I've done wraps in the past is like you would put on window tint I'm not a pro or anything but it worked I sprayed soap and water or Windex on before I put my wrap on it helps to get the air bubbles out
One piece of advice lads. When you are running a turbo charged car and it's been driven, let the engine idle for a bit before you turn it off, so maybe fit a turbo timer. That way the turbo can spool down without damaging the insides. Plus that spoiler would look great on the Viper.
It doesn't matter whether you do that or not, the turbo is still spinning and needs to wind down. One of the companies in the group I work for reconditions turbos and I have seen some bad turbos
Andrew Drabble Turbos get hot...like really hot!!!! The problem with fast driving and then stopping the engine is that the oil that gets trapped within the turbo bakes in the residual heat as it very slowly cools down. When the engine is off there isn’t any oul flow. Your turbo timer option keeps the oil and coolant flowing to assist the turbo to cool down to operating temperature while you lock the car and walk away. Turbo timers usually run the engine for 3-5 minutes, at idle and without air flow. Like I said, unless you thrash your car right to your door there is no need for a turbo timer. Just drive normally for the last few miles and the turbo will cool down to operating temperature as you arrive home and then can turn off your engine just like the millions of other turbo engined owners out there. Turbo timer is only useful if you need to walk away from your car immediately after fast driving.
With the rear end being light you might want a slight forward tilt for down force to help with the traction.... the flatter the faster down the straights, more forward tilt will cause drag but creates down force and traction.
You should have done the wet install with the wrap, 1 tablespoon of Dawn ultra to 1 gallon of water, wet the hood and then the decal, easier to work out the wrinkles and bubbles, I did the decals in my RS Camaro using the wet method, came out very nice
If you want to keep traction you would need to put the spoiler down at a slight angle (20°-30° gradient).
If you want to keep speed do 15°-20° gradient
Graphite Man yesyes
Spoiler is not going to do anything with an airflow like this car has... looks cool though.

wrap it with carbon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it will be like pair with the carbon spoiler!
Tasos Daldaverenis fake carbon is rice
No! just makes it look cheap.. A sticker faking carbon looks soooo bad.
Love your videos bro👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
The way I've done wraps in the past is like you would put on window tint I'm not a pro or anything but it worked I sprayed soap and water or Windex on before I put my wrap on it helps to get the air bubbles out
It's crazy the quantity of work that can be accomplished by two dedicated people who love what they do
One piece of advice lads. When you are running a turbo charged car and it's been driven, let the engine idle for a bit before you turn it off, so maybe fit a turbo timer. That way the turbo can spool down without damaging the insides.
Plus that spoiler would look great on the Viper.

Or just drive normally at lower revs for the last few miles home, unless you thrash it all the way home! 🙈😂
It doesn't matter whether you do that or not, the turbo is still spinning and needs to wind down. One of the companies in the group I work for reconditions turbos and I have seen some bad turbos

Turbos get hot...like really hot!!!!
The problem with fast driving and then stopping the engine is that the oil that gets trapped within the turbo bakes in the residual heat as it very slowly cools down. When the engine is off there isn’t any oul flow.
Your turbo timer option keeps the oil and coolant flowing to assist the turbo to cool down to operating temperature while you lock the car and walk away. Turbo timers usually run the engine for 3-5 minutes, at idle and without air flow.
Like I said, unless you thrash your car right to your door there is no need for a turbo timer. Just drive normally for the last few miles and the turbo will cool down to operating temperature as you arrive home and then can turn off your engine just like the millions of other turbo engined owners out there.
Turbo timer is only useful if you need to walk away from your car immediately after fast driving.
Good idea! We may be doing a turbo upgrade here soon!
10SecSleeper tons of power already, but for the strip we need more lol
With the rear end being light you might want a slight forward tilt for down force to help with the traction.... the flatter the faster down the straights, more forward tilt will cause drag but creates down force and traction.
the best in this video, (tacos and jarrito lime) jajajaja you have one more mexican fan
Looks like you didn't lubricate the hood before putting the wrap on?
A dream and not a garage. I like it. I will be glad to a new friend in my community.
Man if those coolant hoses go while you're driving, you're going to have a jet blast of hot coolant on your neck 😂
Next episode yehey. Watching from PH
You cute girl I'm 10 years old wanna date and meet my mom
You should have done the wet install with the wrap, 1 tablespoon of Dawn ultra to 1 gallon of water, wet the hood and then the decal, easier to work out the wrinkles and bubbles, I did the decals in my RS Camaro using the wet method, came out very nice
WHERE IS THE GTR😥??
