wow, that looks fantastic. I was just talking to my film supplier about doing this to my black is-f and wondered how it would look....now I know.

What wrap product did you use?

Yes, I'm liking it much more now, even with the bad quality pics! Plz get some more uploaded.

On a side note, how easy is it to wash a vinyl wrapped car? Is is easier, same, or harder than washing regular paint?

Yeah, you should totally do it. It really gives our car a different look. My car was black by the way.

It's a 3M vinyl. Quality is pretty good, because it's a bit thicker. I wish frostbite is available here in Vancouver though.

Heehee, I will definitely take some more photos when the weather gets better.

It's actually no different than washing a normal car though except no power wash. I sometimes just use microfiber cloth to wipe down the whole car if it's not that dirty.

Before you installed the front and rear lip, I've seen your car on No.4 Road in Richmond a few times. The 3M Matte Vinyl looks amazing on the ISF. If we do have a local meet in the future, you should swing by! =)

Lookin' good! Another Calgarian here.

How did you install your Lexon lip? I have one ready to install but am unsure what the best way is.

It's actually pretty easy to install. As far as I know, it only requires 4 screws. I didn't think I would be able to do it, so I took it to a body shop. But anyway, you will definitely love the lip.

Lol, for some reasons I thought you were talking about the rear diffuser. My bad. Yes, you're right. There are 8 screws.
