wow, everything looking really good. Love the wrapped front grille.
If you don't mind me asking - how much did the wrap cost you? I assume this was a job you could wait for (i.e. car didnt need to be left in the shop very long?)

I actually cut the stock springs for the meantime. Awaiting coilover systems to come out.

Everything was able to be done in 1 day:
Cost depends on what you are looking for:

Below are the items done:

front grill sprayed (frame wrapped in carbon)
front emblem sprayed
front lower bumper (wrapped in carbon)
door handles (wrapped in gloss black)
window framing (wrapped in gloss black)
rear wing wrapped in carbon
rear emblem sprayed
rear exhaust tips sprayed
rear bumper lights sprayed
rear trunk bar wrapped gloss black

ask wannabe racer on the forums for pricing.

Car looks awesome. I still really liked how all of the small carbon fiber accents that I vinyl wrapped turned out on your car.

I was told by my guy in columbus ohio area about wrapping my front grill, if i leave the star alone you won't be able to see any cut on vinyl at all, with that said, everything will be blacked out but the star and has perfect looking no matter how close you look at. But if i get everything blacked out, you might be able to see some cuts on star corners due to the angles of the star.
I don't really like spraying since it doesn't give you a glossy look even with glossifier ( not giving you a wet shinny looking).
Anyway, your car looks greatttt

Same question- how did you know how much to cut off? Any ride tradeoffs?

Looks good. What kind of looks do you get (personally) from handicap parking? Seems to be a bit of a thing with some people.

I used to get all kinds of snide remarks when I had a handicap plate (FL has back plate only). When I switched to a mirror hung placard the remarks stopped.
