Taped mine up tonight. Looks very good. First section was a pita but once I figured out what I was doing it went quick. Did rear curve like Galaxy did (thanks for pics). Will post pics tomorrow.

For $20 it looks good. Much better without the chrome.

Thanks ha...

wheels were custom ordered with that color scheme. I went with the same color scheme as the "F" badge... brushed aluminum face, Obsidian Black lip, and Ultrasonic Blue Mica pinstripe.

I finally did mine and had no problems with any imperfections in the material. Make sure to pull of the "clear coat" off the top of the tape for a better blended in look I ordered two rolls of the tape just incase I messed up and when I measured them both, they were different lengths so be aware that if you mess up once, you might not have enough tape

Looks great and makes the car appear a bit more slick imo

I had no imperfections as well. I let the car sit in the sun for a few hours the next morning and the tape literally shrink-wrapped to the chrome.

I'm glad everyone likes the tape. You get the look of the paint for alot less $$$.
