Looks nice, any chance you could shoot some close-ups. I've got a bunch of 1080 samples and trying to decide which way to go. Did you have any problem keeping the brushed lines in the same direction, looks like it's a brushed straight down on the side pieces. I really like that look but was a bit worried about that aspect of it. Thanks!

The 1080 samples i received from 3m were only about 1.5"x3" or something like that so it was a bit hard to try to visualize (the different options) on how it would look on the the car. Based on your pictures, it does look great! Nice work.

I did the work myself and have never done it before so i was happy with how it came out for a newbie. For the handles i ran the brushed at an angle. I may fix it and have it all facing one way. But idk i think the lines would be too long since everything else flows vertically.

Love it. I am planning on doing the door trim in the the brushed black metallic 3M wrap. It loos extra sharp and blends in with the graphite well.
