The car is going in for a full wrap the day after I pick it up. Gonna try to get as many miles on her as possible in a day.

I would take it straight to the detail shop to get it wrapped. If you don't, murphy dictates that you will get some massive rock chip right in the middle of the hood for one day's worth of driving.

TOP TOP car..Well done.
BUT, I don't like wraps of ANY description......too much maintenance....what will you do about stone chips, petrol stains, scuffs etc?
Ford UK made the Focus RS500 with a flat black wrap (3M)....created MASSIVE problems with marks simply from everyday use.....many owners removed the wrap....simply got sick of the upkeep/maintenance/trying to keep it looking good etc.

@GuppyC63, dropping it off for the same wrap as my CLK BS tmr.
@Pickles, complete opposite here. Maintenance, especially on a black car, is 100x easier with it wrapped, clear or matte. Vinyl I've had problems with, but 3M is awesome.

Wow, your car looks insanely aggressive with the wrap! It must have been a heck of a job (and expensive $$) to wrap this car. Great job!
