I also just ordered some so it should be here sometime next week I was thinking about doing it with the carbon fiber wrap they offer on here (nuffy or niffy wrap or something like that) but I'm not sure how it hold up since it hasn't been tested for the exterior of vehicles. I'd like to see some more pics if ya'll install it this weekend

DFLORES, if an installer tells you that they can't clear bra your entire car, you're going to the wrong installer.... and I hear you about the chips in crazy places.

Better then mine. It will last a long time.

I just got another car wash today and driven over 1k miles since I applied it.
