So glad I picked Black, yours looks wicked

Will you be able to get the same deep gloss look with the wrap on the car that you would without?

I feel that it is a lot glossier with the PPF wrap plus the Opticoat on top of it than it was when I first got the car.

To tell you the truth, I wanted gloss black, but the installer told me to go with satin black to match with the lower window trim and I didn't notice a difference in color, but I will have to take a closer look on that.

Looks really great! Could you post up wheel/tire specs with off sets please? It's hard to beat a black car when it's clean. Super sharp!

Thanks! The wheels are custom forged by Vossen, 20x9.5 255 for the front and 20x11 285 for the back, as for the offsets I have to get back to you on that.

Nice ride! Had a quick question, what parts of the car did you specifically wrap with the suntek PPF? A few installers I've looked at only do the mirrors, a-pillar, hood, fenders, and front bumper. Was also wondering how much they quoted you to do this so I know approximately how much this would cost. Thanks for the help!

The OP stated he had entire car done for 5300$. Quality wraps aren't cheap
