Did you just use regular wrap on the rear valence? Its always looked like it would be a huge pain in the ass to wrap, and I've been thinking of getting it painted, but if I can wrap it I'll do that!

Not surprised on it being a pain in the ass haha

Mind sharing how much you spent on the wrap? Just kind of want an idea of how much I'll need to haggle with my local shop lol.

roof, front and rear valence, mouth of grille, that silver bar that runs across the trunk, headlights polished, front 50% tint, and trunk and rear bumper buffed/waxed was 900 taxes in. I think I got a good deal. I believe he said 350 just for the roof and 350 for the other CF parts. Then basically did the rest for 100bucks then 100 in taxes

Looks great Jeff!! I've been contemplating CF pieces for years now, just never pulled the trigger.

In all the ABP/RBP that I have seen on AZ, I think you and KB1Spec are the only ones I can remember with CF accents.
