Had mine wrapped almost a year now. Color looks good!! I would recommend doing the trim pieces in gloss black. It makes a big difference specially in that color

Mine is wrapped in Satin Pearl White with Satin Black chrome delete. I prefer the satin black as it matches the finish of the pearl white.

@mrmasongrey on Instagram for photos. I only have one up, but more are coming.

I was trying to find a picture of the front chrome as glossy black. After seeing yours I'm definitely doing that and the mirror. I might also do the door handle glossy black. Is your roof also glossy black? Can't really tell from the lighting but your shark fin isn't.

The front chrome piece is definitely a must! I was thinking about the door handles too recently since I have material but we'll see lol. No my roof is the same color. Had the option to do it in black but I wanted to see it in that color first. Yea the lighting wasn't too great but with that color there is like 3 different shade of it depending on the lighting. I might just do my shark fin gloss black

How does that work? If your car is blue, it'll change the color to red?

I always kind of thought of it like the adhesive book covers we used to use in school - like putting a second skin on your car. Is that accurate?
(my friend wrapped his 428i recently and was like, "Lol I'll just peel it off when I sell it")
