Stunning!

 

Looks great.

 

grabbed these illuminated reflectors, hope to mount them right above my exhaust cut out. the exhaust cutout on the type-s lip is about 240mm wide. these are 220mm, so it should fit. only issue is getting them flush without cutting too much from the lip--ideally just two holes for mount screws. these will be on with parking lights at 30% brightness and 100% brightness on brake light.

 

 

nothing new. wrapped the top of my trunk and roof gloss black. the paint on the trunk was chipping from a bad paint job so i sanded it off and wrapped it. had extra vinyl and wrapped my license plate trim. the roof took 3hrs...so many weird curves and the vinyl bunches up in corners. the trunk took 20mins..





also installed some VIP puddle lights, been looking for a particular set that has concentrated circles and not a lot of bleeding light. wired to my dome supervision wire so only on with unlock and door opening.



as she sits now.

 

Looks great man! Few questions about doing the roof:

1. Did you remove any of the moldings? And did you wrap the antennae or paint it?
2. How much vinyl did you get? Will a 5x5 roll get it done?...or did you go with 5x6 or even 5x7?

I'm curious because I'm hoping to take a crack at doing this soon. Thanks in advance

 

just unhinged the roof mouldings to windshield. I took off the attennae and wrapped separately. 5'x6' will wrap entire roof. Order from metrostyling for cheapest 3M.


5x5 will be too short

 

Nice work on the trunk wrap!
