so for the people who have done this, does it really just peel off the paint? id be nervous as hell letting it touch my paint.

as far as wheels go, it does look good and professional. a local bmw group i meet up with, a member has a wagon and did the lips orange. looks perfect!

fyi you'll love the window trim. ive had mine wrapped for over a year now and still love the look

Nuh uh. I dare you to do the whole wheel since we have the same set up.

But I do like the clear bra idea. *ponders thought* But knowing MY luck, some stone will bounce off the rubber platicdip and hit my windshield.

OMFG? Yes, someone please spray their entire car and post pictures. I would love to see this on ClubLexus because of a DIY I posted.

I'm glad everyone is enjoying this!
