Looks awesome! Can't wait to see your videos on your YouTube channel on how you did it.

Great job on the wrap - I know I would never have the patience!

On a side note just curious but is this even legal?

I know one of the reasons they barred "mirror" tint was the reflective properties could cause an accident with other drivers. I know it looks super cool but if the sunlight glare caused some senior citizen to crash into you, is it worth it? Just curious what other people's take is on this safety factor?

Nice!
I always thought about wrapping one of my other cars. How difficult would you say it is to do yourself?
Think you can do a write up?

it's easy to do the doors, quarter, roof, fender and trunk in chrome but the bumpers and hood was a pain. Now if you did a regular color, the whole car is a breeze, with the exception of a few inlays on hard/rounded areas

I'd like to see a close up of the mirrors as that is nearly impossible for me to do.

Not a huge fan of the pink, but know how difficult the chrome is to lay so kudos to you. Makes me consider doing my own now...

good job on wrapping your car yourself but color is horrible. I'm guessing it reflects an orange peely look or blurred reflection like a bad paint job. the reflection it gives back kills the lines of the car which is what is needed for the ISF to look good.

Great job wrapping the car, especially for your first time. I will agree with most, the color isn't my cup of tea. It's too much for me. I'd would rather get Avery Diamond Vinyl which is pretty flashy but in a more subtle way. Nonetheless, great job!

Great job!! Color is very unique, I watched Youtube video first and you make the wrapping work looks so easy and I'm very tempting to do mine but again, i can easily damage my car
