Nice. Black out those pesky orange side markers on the front bumper too!

Can't wait to see your pictures.
Dont you have to own a car before you wrap it! LOL

This guy really must bother you... All you do is follow his posts and get at him. Can you move the circus act somewhere else, and keep this decent thread on topic.

On topic... Paint the calipers a ridiculous color... like neon pink, or ninja turtle green!

Haha, I wouldn't do it personally.... it was just a suggestion. haha. That's the point though it's a "benz" that's now matte black.... we can do whatever we want it'll look absolutely awesome with some outlandish caliper color.

HAHA funny you said that! We have talked about doing ninja turtle green on the breaks and the emblems, but I think that would be a little too much!

It's your car, but I would blackout the badges... as I plan on doing when i get around to finding someone to install this wrap. And definitely paint the calipers ninja turtle green (seriously)! make sure nothing else on the car has this green besides a ninja turtle sitting on your dashboard! (and spray the extra grill you hopefully have lying around the same time you do the calipers so if you really feel like being crazy, rock the paint matched grill to the calipers)

You get super props from me for matte blacking the "benz"! You'll get super duper props if you take it to the next level and make your brake calipers a stand-out-ish (is this really a word?) color...

I have noticed on cars wrapped with the advertisement crap that it seem to start peeling back. Is that poor install or just the nature of the wrap?

Looks pretty good. I do wraps as well, and $3500 is about the going rate. The 3M film is definitely nice, I use it all the time, but there are a few others I use as well... Looks like he is doing a good job. Can't wait to see the final pics.

BTW, I think gloss black emblems and gloss black over the chrome moldings would be a nice touch.

I agree about the moldings. He is doing doing a great job with everything except we tore a piece of vinyl off of the bumper because it was too cold, and the big thing that sucks is that we only are working with a 48 inch roll so the hood has seems! ahhhh We are waiting for someone else to order a 54 inch and we are going to steal some of that and redo the hood someday! We have been working a lot on it and our friendship is on the line..haha
