Thanks guys. I think it looks fantastic too. The Carbon Demon guys did a really thorough job and pulled the car apart, wrapped parts individually and put it back together. I've used them before for my Evo's roof but the workmanship on the entire car is amazing. Can't believe how many stares (and thumbs up/winks) I get now!

Bit under $4k AUD. Difficult to compare though since our labour prices and material costs are typically higher than US.

It's interesting because suddenly a lot of lines in the car you wouldn't have noticed otherwise become a lot more visible. It makes the car look a bit more muscular.

We have different model lines in Australia- sport isn't an option.

As for chrome trim, I couldn't decide for a while what to do but decided I wanted a bit of chrome to give it an accent/contrast because otherwise the car is very difficult to see! On the MY2012, it's also recessed so wrapping around it would leave an odd shaped bulge whilst removing it would leave an unnatural recessed gap.

Looks good, why didn't you have the grey on the grill wrapped also? I know you wanted the chrome for accent.

I think it looks alright surprisingly- but either way, planning on changing rims at some point but no dealer is willing to reprogram my Distronic Plus It's on corporate package so can't go too far out with mods like the Evo.

Not available here as far as I know, and I wanted the car I wanted on 30 June 2011 so had to take what I could get. Keep in mind in Australia we don't have as many cars as the US so the bargaining position isn't so great. Only option for me would've been to order it from factory which means no discount.

Was tempted but decided I wanted to make it look "factory" similar to the way the C350 Coupe at the launch was. Also need it to look a bit professional still since I need it for clients and a totally matte black car may not look that suitable. I felt this matte wrap was a good blend between classy/elegance and young.
