Might as well do a ls600h retrofit in the headlights housing since they are already out. A projector in the drl/high beam/parking light housing would be good too lol =P

The vinyl is about 500, doing the wrap myself. I have experience but the 3M material is very easy to use...

I'm curious, when you wrap your car that changes the color, so does that mean you have to let the DMV know your car is a different color now?

regardless, Sweet GS looking forward to the finished product!!

Also, I have a question. When you have such a bright color like white and are wrapping it with matte black, what do you do with the door jambs and all the gaps? It would seem quite difficult to get in all those places to cover the white.

If you open the door you'll see white. Once it's done you go around and trim any little spot that shows...

Vinyl won't replace paint so if you search you'll find defects but its a great way to change you color for something cool and still be able to go back...
