What size sheet is needed ?
The sheets come in 5' widths, and no individual panel on the VX is wider than 5' so we only need to concern ourselves with the length of the of the roll. Here are the dimensions I measured for Igor:
L&R front fenders area: 4'x 2' (x2) [4' length]
hood area: 5'x 5' [5' length]
roof area: 4'x 6' [6' length]
L&R doors area: 4'x 4' (x2) [8' length]
L&R rear fenders area: 5'x 4' (x2) [8' length]
hatch area: 5'x 2' [2' length]
_____________________________________
total size needed: 5'x 33' length
These dimensions are rounded up to the nearest foot and roughly an inch below the plastic cladding. I'm purchasing a 5' x 45' roll to have extra just in case.

Finally got enough free time to completely wrap the truck this week. The weather has been less than cooperative but here is the 99% end result (still need to put emblems back on)

can you use img tags?
Wow! The wrap looks great! The hood appears to have chameleon paint but its probably the reflection of something. How long does the material last in the heat?
Thanks! The entire wrap is a chameleon green/purple just depends on the angle. It is supposed to have a life expectancy of 3-5 years.
It's been a while since I've posted on here. I still have Igor, 227k miles and still running strong. I've upgraded the wheels to bronze Toyota TRD wheels and added a roof rack. I'd love to upload a picture but I can't find the "how-to" thread on how to remove old photos to make room for new ones.
