I'm not sure if I like it or not. I usually hate flat black. I think it looks unfinished and lacks creativity but how you've used it as accents and didn't cover the entire car, it doesn't look too bad actually.

hmm, this is vinyl! it's a semi-glossed black, it appears matte, but its semi glossed!
washing the matte e36 is easy, just rinse off. hahah yes. rinse off!
you can still wax the car, the vinyl needs to be maintained anyways. its hella easy, and get's hella compliments!

thanks man!
The projectors I have are OEM facelift W209 projectors, just with painted lens and a set of custom sized halo rings. The lightbeam/output is pretty much OEM

thanks man! 
It really takes a lot of patience and time. We bought a large roll, 60"x50yards and we did each panel by panel. We had to do some major stretching+forming, and fixing it with heat. it's crazy, but we finished it!
