[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 262522, member: 7076"] I think that it would look ok, your going to have interesting details around the edges of your covers as the corners of the aluminum will show. My main concern would be how it will hold up in a year or two. I think one of the big benefits of wrapping the edges is that it doesn't leave any corners or edges to peel. I don't know of any adhesive that will prevent corners from peeling if they are not protected. I actually had a few un-wrapped edges next to the cover hinges. I didn't actually use the spray adhesive there, I ended up putting down a bead of 5200 and pressing the vinyl into it. I like the result so far, with no issues of anything coming up. However, the hinge sits a bit higher than the edge of the vinyl, so it is slightly protected. If you try it, let us know how it works out. [/QUOTE]
