Im not a big fan of chrome either but they match the midnight grill so perfectly. I'm not trying to go for the extreme stealth look and the chrome actually looks beautiful at night gloss orange would look amazing imo but idk about on a G I'd have to see it first.

That one is matte but still looks good, I want something that has a spring/summer vibe to it. Since it is upcoming seasons and think it'll look great on college campus.

Thank you so much Sean for always having good things to say! I truly can't describe the feeling that overcomes me everytime I look at my car now. It's kind of like getting a new car lol I've fallen in love with it all over again and once everything else falls into place, hopefully within the next week or so, it's going to be EXACTLY how i planned and pictured it for so long in my head And I can't wait for the meet in 6 months to see everyone's car in person including your beauty!

Thanks man! And hopefully I'll stop buying parts and purchase a decent camera instead totake some really nice detailed pictures. Apparently my Galaxy Note 5 phone camera isn't as good as I'd hoped it would be lol

Looks awesome!

I love the color and agree it is probably tough to keep clean but my guess is someone who puts this kind of work into their car is going to force people to wear white gloves when they get within 5 feet of this beautiful machine .

I appreciate that man! And yes like I said I hand wash my car about once a week and I may just have to purchase a box of white gloves for people

Kenny, since you did the wrap yourself would you care to share any tips that may help those thinking about doing this themselves (like me , lol) How much wrap did you buy, did you use any 3m primer anywhere, did you need a helper for any of the wrap, anything you had to do over, etc.
Thanks!

I did the rotors, calipers, new 20% tints all around and wrapped my interior with the 3m brushed black aluminum myself (thanks to your thread Brad I fell in love with the look of how yours turned out) ... as for the exterior wrap my friends did most of the work I can't take full credit for it on a count I really didn't want to mess it up and they've done it plenty to know how to get it perfect. I'll find out all the answers to your questions though and maybe post up a DIY thread for it
