Nice! do they have to remove the window chrome trim to wrap it? How is the fit afterwards if removed?

I believe they didn't remove it, but I could be wrong. Looking at the pics updated it doesn't seem removed.
These update pics are being sent to me via the guys at velocity auto. I haven't seen the car since it was dropped off Monday.

i just got my roof wrapped and they didn't remove the trim because it was such a pain in the a$$. Still looks good regardless.

Love to see more pics! Does it actually look better when you painted the bottom front bumper lip black?

I wired the funds directly to ARTISAN JAPAN Mar 02, after confirming they received the funds.It was built by Mar 14TH air freight, landed and cleared customs 48 hours later. So it should take 2-3 weeks directly from the company without any middle dealer.
I can take a pic if u still need it. As for the artisan, I ordered it and it's gonna take 18 days to finish and arrive. Aimgain takes 3 mth to build.

This build is coming along really nice. Keep it up.
I ain't gonna keep it a secret, but that's the kit I'm also going with. I've always liked the Artisan ever since I first saw it on the Orange NX. I also like the Aimgain, but the fact that the rear diffuser doesn't accommodate the quad exhaust, it's a no go for me.

If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost to paint all the pieces ?

Ill be honest the front bumper probably will look good in black - but your guess is as good as mine - Ive only seen the photos posted so far - will keep you posted when i actually get the car back on Thursday
