Wrapping a 2012 myself I have some tips:

Start with the bumpers because they are the hardest parts of the vehicle. You don't want to start a project and knock out the easiest stuff and get to the end and want to give up.

Any plastics that will be in the way of laying the wrap over the paint need to come off.

The paint needs to be immaculate before hand and any imperfections will show through the wrap 10x more than they will before it. Any paint chips etc need to be filled and any dirt on the vehicle needs cleaned. I recommend a soap wash before hand and to strip any wax that might be on the paint

Heat is your friend and buy quality wrap that will restore itself with heat if you mess up a section. Patience is key.

If you ask any professional on a wrap that isn't a commercial vehicle or a show car they will most likely say just don't because everything is extremely harsh on the wrap and maintaining it is pretty nonexistent long term.

Good Luck!
