got it today, took 40 minutes or so to put on. start at the top of one side, go down then cross onto another side and keep going down. in the end i had to wrap 2 together. pic will be on later....

well i drove around the block and it started to smoke, so i had to pull over and take it off, does header wrap normally smoke up a storm then die off?
