Progress is moving a lot slower than I would have expected. the left side and rear of the car has been wrapped but still lots to do. Two additional pictures sent yesterday are attached. I will be heading to the shop today and will take additional pictures..
Thanks

Modifications are awesome! Looking forward to seeing the pics of the final wrap. What is the upkeep on a wrap...do you wax it, use detailer on it? I would want to protect the wrap from the intense Florida sun and those annual love bugs, is that a concern?

Its a Matte finish so no waxing required. Simple soap and water or a run thru the car wash. Over time, dings and chips are inevitable but only that section would have to be replaced.
im hoping they get a lot done today. Still the right side, the roof, chrome trim wrapping, rims&tires, grill and interior needs to be done.

Thanks. i fell in love with the matte white Pearl when I first saw it. It's a subtle change but it should look real nice and the guys are doing it right.

Looking good! Impressed with the effort the installers are putting into get the wrap on. I must say I'm interested too see how durable these are in general. It would be nice not have to deal with paint issues!
Good luck - keep the pictures coming.

I ended up taking it off myself after about 110 days I think........but I really though it protected the paint very well........and protected all my swirl marks too......

Absolutely beautiful ! ! Can you apply trunk badging over the wrap? Can't wait to see pictures of the completed modification.

I agree... Definitely impressed at the quality of work. I'm impatient so I would have never been able to do this. I'm hoping it holds up well and I have read that is the case. I'm thinking at least a year or longer before I remove it unless I get tired of it beforehand.

Thanks for posting all the pics, cant wait to see the final product. Take some good pics in the sun when you get the chance. Also, any idea which product this shop is using, for example...3M, Avery, etc.?

Thanks. I was very surprised when he first told me 7 to 10 days. But after going to the shop on a few occasions, I understand why. It's a small shop with two or three employees and apparently, there's only one wrapper who works with the dealer doing tints part time. In addition, a few cars came in and out to get some minor work done. However, going on 12 days is a little extreme and I'm slowly becoming impatient. I will be headed up there today to talk to him and see exactly where we stand may put off the interior to sometime after the new years

Your car is coming along amazing. Feels like your car was stock just a week ago! The CF fog lights are a nice touch, but you aren't going to update them to DRL?
Try to get some pictures outside in the sun! And keep us updated!

Thank you
It was stock a few weeks ago, only had the car since October. I actually like the dual fog light and was going to keep them for now
