It looks great. I hope you wore gloves when you did it. The first time i tried it, i didn't wear gloves and i rubbed my eyes and face. Bad idea.

No way I would do it on the car. It took one roll of 50' x 2". Get it lightly wet first. It helps a lot. I also got their coating that I have to spray on today.

I would have done it off the car, but someone told me it wasn't needed
It's installed now and I'm not gonna yank it off given the copper gasket and rtv to seal it.

when you are flying around the track there is enough air flow through the engine bay to carry the heat away

It's fine as long as you coat them. It seals the wrap and helps it last longer. I used copper wrap so they send you copper color coat/pain. 2000 F
Oh, yes it's that sunny today.
