Looks awesome. I just had mine done but you should do the exhaust tips like I did.

Thank you. I thought about doing the exhaust tips but my wrapper advised against it as the heat from exhaust fumes will eventually warp the vinyl. Did you plasti dip yours?

No I used vinyl but there are no heat issues. I drove my car for a while and touched the tip and it was not hot at all. But yes long story short I will eventually Plasti Dip as I did with my emblems. I did not realize how durable that stuff is if applied correctly.

Yep gotta do the tail pipes to look proper. I suggest carbon fibre wrap to add an exotic subtle touch

I've had no issue either with the vinyl wrap on my exhaust tips.

It looks like it turned out great. I see your in TX. I live in the dallas area. Who did the wrap for you?

What did they charge you for wrapping all the chrome? I think I over paid...But I still want to get my windows done. Dude who did mine wanted $500 just for the window trim

Thank you and I had a local Dallas guy do it for me. He is certified and does and excellent job. I've seen his work and it is amazing, including his own car which is a Lexus. Cost is about half as much as your original estimate. Let me know if you are interested and I can PM you his contact info.
