Thanks! I knew from day 1 if i did the matte metalic, That i'd be for sure mistaken for the FiveAxis GS. Obviously looks totally different but just by the color. BUT, correct me if I'm wrong but I think the Five GS is Dark Grey Metallic & Im Silver Metallic.

What was turn around for it to be complete?
typically i've seen some companys do a 2 day turn around but with anyone I'd suggest a 4-5 day's with the company just so they can take their time with each piece. But they took 3 days. They're some spots that have to redo but they're honest with their work. They're not happy unless you are. Really good guys!

Yep. No Antenna. My buddy Brian has a 450H 07 and another buddy has a 350 and they both have fins. I never had it. Maybe because I'm a first year 06? or ML package doesnt have it? not too sure

is there any difference with the washing compared to factory paint? Like would it be easier to remove bugs and bird droppings? And can the wrap get scratched or get swirl marks?

Difference is it makes life easier. Only need Water. Soap and water when needed (Oil stains & droppings) and I talk to a rep from 3M saying rubbing alcohol on any tough oils.

You do need to use any oil based products like Wax or anything to keep its shine. Wrap is good for 4-6 years depending on exposure.

All i know is if i ever buy a brand new car. I'll have the whole thing wrapped in either a clear or maybe even color change so i can preserve the paint

I was very trying to figure out if i really liked the chrome with or without.
Other choice was wrapping the chrome in black. But it came out good! So i may chrome wrap the visors so you can actually see them pop.

We'll see haha
