Yea that was the tricky part. It's hard with the carbon vinyl because you have the lines that will "warp" if you stretch too much. I have a couple waves down on the flat part, but I think they're more noticeable to me than anyone else

The easiest way to avoid the excess material you encounter once you get down to the front face is to stretch the whole piece out sideways while doing the top flat section. That way it keeps the front tighter and you just have to pull it down. Don't be afraid to get a hand under the vinyl to pop creases, you just have to shrink it with a heat gun and it will flatten out again.
