Crazy project. I couldn't imagine doing a whole car. Had enough trouble just doing the roof top of my last car.

Thanks for showing us, can't wait to see the final product.

Just want to know how it will handle in car wash ( the water jet kind)
Or you just have to go the hand wash... how about the dry blowing...
will it handle that ?

Installer says I can run straight to the car wash as soon as he is finished. It wont hurt it a bit. He did a full wrap in 15 degree weather and they washed it for a show directly after

3M as noted earlier in this thread

OP - car looks amazing, props for doing it. The gloss black emblems and trim as previously mentioned would set the look off perfect. Now as far as the "stand-off-ish" brake coloring, that's just childish JDM stuff in my opinion. Good luck in finishing up this outstanding project

Hey Bullett, car looks good bro. However, I don't want to hear any excuses the next time we are on 465 about your increased drag force due to the wrap as I pull away....hahaha!

I agree about the breaks after further thought. My friend/installer is really leaning towards doing a red matte lip on the wheels just to set it off. They are polished now. I believe if the car was a two door sports car more color would not be too bad, but on a 4 door, simple as possible is the key! Thanks for the compliments.
