can you PLEASE take a picture of your front, but at a lower angle? Like looking directly at the front.

I like the new look. You should try wrapping the handles and mirrors too. I think it would look much cleaner, and you could always peel if off if you don't like it.

I agree on the wrapped handles, but I dig the overall look! Looks great with the CV2s!

Hey everyone!

Thanks for all the feedback. I honestly don't think the pictures do justice to how the car looks in person. I originally wanted the door handles wrapped until I saw what it looked like. The black handles set the car off in my opinion, but to each there own The mirrors stand out too much when matched to the body so that's why I kept them black.

Here are some more pics. Car is getting dirty. I'll have to clean it up and take some more pictures soon. Maybe after a drop

Thanks again!

I thought I liked it, but I'm not so sure now.

I think it looks good, well done! I agree with you on the black door handles. Don't change them. You do need to clean the bugs off the obsidian around the grill though. Get on that please

The matte white's amazing! Something Darth Vader's minions the Storm Troopers would be driving.

Hmm... looks good. I painted my Subaru STI balloon white before and it was very difficult to clean .. does the wrap have any texture to it? does dirt just wipe off?

A drop and a few more mods and you'll have this... I must say I do feel a little behind the 8-Ball as I wanted to achieve this look, albeit not as much of a drastic drop.

Also, how about doing the same color scheme on the side skirts to make them "pop" and accentuate the curves. The sides of our cars looks a little dull IMO.

So how to you maintain the wrap's finish? Is it a maintenance free finish or does it require the same type of care as paint?

Just a quick question, if you plan on keeping the car wrapped for a long time. Wouldn't the exposed original paint get sun faded, plus the concentration of rock chips in that certain area?
