alright guys a quick update and sneak peak...
I've been pretty busy with work and finals at school.
then had a little mini vacay. went out fishing down to the keys, then hit up naples, ended up at the hardrock in hollywood last weekend for some clubbin. then back to work with the car. the coils should be coming in next week.
here are some progress shots.
most noticeably the wheels...

later this week the polishing will be done on the lips and bolts.
sorry that i have no progress pics for the wheels.
basically what i did is sand blast the wheels to bare metal. from there all blemishes will be visible and the sanding begins to get all the knicks off ( pun intended from the Heat lol).
low grit sand paper and move up from there. then slap some magical chemicals, let them do there job and polish polish polish.

Cant wait to see how your wheels come out man. But honestly I think you might be going a little overboard on that carbon fiber wrap.
Look into hydro dipping because it seems to be a good alternative that produces results that look much much better than wrap. I know you cant hydro dip your roof and rear lip, but perhaps your grille.
