thanks for the suggestion. i might try that since i don't plan on painting until next tax refund season.

yeah, but the tom's kit was unexpected so the wheels have to wait. wheels will definitely complete it. my current fave is rohana rc20's but i'm sure it will change when it is time to buy.

i had all intentions to do the spoiler because another member left it white too. i didn't understand why he did that. then when i came back early to check on the progress of the wrap, i saw the white spoiler and got why the other member left it alone. i told the wrap guy to stop there. to me, i think the reason why is that the profile of our roof spoilers is short/small. i barely noticed the spoiler when the whole roof was white and felt like it was a terrible $300 investment/mod. if it were more prominent like some others i've seen on other cars, i would have done it gloss black. the wrap guy said i can always go back to do it but i have no regrets leaving it like that.

i don't have new pics but here's more that i took that day. it's just a gloss vinyl black. super shiny and gives off that panoramic roof effect. if you don't know about wraps, it's just one big sticker on your car. if you get tired of it, you can just take it off and go back to the original color of your car. if you are interested in doing it, just search for car wraps in your area.
