Smile My cars finally done (not really, just kidding)!

So as most of you know I have been talking about this for the past three or so weeks. My car has been going through a transformation from ivory white pearl to a vinyl wrapped satin black. I know many are not fans of the IPL front bumper but I am absolutely in love with the look of it and don't care how many people have it or how common it's become lol I plan on making a very detailed build thread with pictures I've been taking during the process itself with the shops camera so please forgive me for these poor quality pictures I just snapped really quick in my garage after bringing the car home. I just figured I would show everyone where I'm at now and it's not even close to being ready just have a lot more to come but again I'll save all that for my build thread, until then I hope you guys like it because I love it!

Looks really good man. That color looks nice also looks like a tough color to keep clean. I'm in the process of doing somethings to my car. Just got my IPL bumper from paint and got lucky on EBay with some IPL fog covers for only 80$. Anyway I like the wheels and color it looks good. Maybe it's time to hit up RaulG for some headlight work. Any more plans for it?

Thanks man... cleaning it won't be an issue at all on a count I hand wash my car minimum once a week literally and it's definitely going to be easier to keep clean then white in my opinion. As for RaulG I'd love to have him do my lights but unfortunately I don't have a spare set to send him and don't know how I'd feel taking mine off and mailing them to him and having to wait for them to get done and shipped back to me. I have a set of Vossen cv3-r wheels, aeroflow dynamics front splitter, aeroflow dynamics side splitters, customer wrapped steering wheel and matching shift **** on the way and already ordered. And also having the interior vinyl wrapped in a 3m brushed black aluminum. I appreciate the nice feedback

The wrap itself was about a week's long work. And another week for a bunch of other stuff i was having done. I honestly didnt help much when it came to the wrapping bc thats just out of my wheel house.

Kenny, you need to change thread title to "Vinyl wrap is done!", cuz as you know once the mod bug digs in we're rarely ever "done".
Congrats on that wrap job, looks nice, how was it wrapping the bumper? Look forward to your other items too!

I tried editing the title but it only changed it inside the thread and not the actual title itself Also when it came to the bumper it was fairly easy, I think the hardest part to wrap on the entire car was the trunk itself lol

And the mod bug is a horrible addiction/sickness to the bank account but such a great feeling to finally see it all come together

Looks fantastic! but personally I would black out the little chrome strip under the fog lights, would make the car more stealth. If that's what you're going for. But it's really nice, I've been contemplating about wrapping mines gloss orange.
