I picked up a wald frp trunk spoiler which as some of you will eventually get to know me... I don't like to wait. Lol
I vinyl wrapped it in cf vinyl and stuck it onto the trunk with 3M double stick tape. Don't really like how slightly uneven it fits but I'll be molding it in soon. I'll post pics later today.

Removed the vinyl wrap and now it's back to its beautiful tungsten pearl color 
Pics of the soon to be molded wald trunk spoiler:
Today I'm going to do an oil change, remove the front plastic fender liners and put some 10mm spacers. Hopefully it doesn't rub anymore.

rather impressed you do all that wrap. i pay someone to do it for me haha. shoulda just asked you and pay you a lil on the side 
i was digging the orange and black. super sick and vinyl wrapping is the way to go. cheaper than paint, and can always change it up + protects the original paint. and if any lil piece gets damaged you can jsut replace that area of the wrap! loving the wheels + drop. keep it up!

Vinyl wrap won't hurt the paint at all as long as it is OEM paint. I have had instances when I wrap over a repainted area on a car and it will peel the clear coat off so you do have to watch out for that. Other than that if you have OEM paint you can wrap, wrap wrap and re wrap all you want

So after looking through tons of pictures and threads on exhaust systems for the is250... I decided to make my own and this is where I am at now. Still tuning it by adding/ removing glass packs and X / H pipe mid section.
Decided to go straight through single pipe coming down from each header:
And once i got home like at midnight... I wrapped RVCA's chrome grill in 3M gloss black vinyl wrap

My butt dyno says it did make a slight increase in power. lol
I'll make a go pro video today after work and upload it on here.
I want loud so I have that down so far but still need to mess with something so I can get a nice rasp to it. It sounds too gross and distorted from 3-4k rpm. After 4k rpm it sounds so nice, raspy and loud

Last night i went to the exhaust shop and added 2 twin loop mufflers on the back along with the already existing 2 maganaflow glasspacks. Sounded way too quiet!
Went back to the exhaust shop once again this morning and I think I finally got the sound right... full catless non resonated H pipe midsection with 2 twin loop mufflers on the back.

I really like your carbon fiber wrap... do you get good deal on the wrap material...?? ebay sell around $180 or shop can do it for $300 w/ 3yrs warranty..

I buy the material by the full roll plus i get it at wholesale pricing so I would have to say that yes by you buying $180 worth of vinyl from ebay it is a little pricey.
$300 to wrap your interior? I usually charge around $200 for that but of course it depends in what area you're in as I know here in California we have a lot of competition when it comes to wrapping.
On my previous e46 and e46 M3 I had tried a bunch of setups like megan, ST coilovers (made by KW), D2, Racelands and I have to say that the Function Form coilovers really feel like the ST's. Haven't had a chance to put them through a canyon run or track day so that will be the ultimate test. I drive with them at about half way dampening and they're so comfortable and gf friendly lol
No clunking, rattling, sqeaking or any of that stuff that I have read from other members.
