12/16 sq ft. You can overlap the pieces.

The bought the vinyl directly from the 3m distributor here in Canada. It is about $3000/roll but they sell it by the foot too.

I took the door panels off (which take 1 minute - door removal posts)

I did the rear panels in place. The dash came off. The product requires some skill to use properly. It can be stretched when it is heated but also srinks slightly. There is prmer that 3M sell that can help with adhesion on the edges. You just need to buy some and practice. You can peel it off if you don't get it right.

Also don't pay more than $10/sq ft for the product. Shop around.

Good Luck
