My insignificant 'reveal'. (08 G37s Coupe)
Thanks for the reply and the encouragement 
As far as the rear bumper, that's one area I have done. Best way to do it is just drop your back muffler, not sure on the coupes but should just be about 4 bolts holding it in. You don't even have to fully remove it, just loosen it enough to drop it down a few inches to give you enough room to tuck the vinyl up in there. Here's a pic of the valance I wrapped, and I always use 3m 1080, seems to be the way to go.

I have my stock wheels, grille and badging sprayed with black metallic and it looks so amazing in sunlight.
Healights are awesome! Excellent choice for the wrap, everything looks super clean and very very nice ! well done!

Domate, I'll hit you up next time I am in town. My wife works in Durham so I come up every few months to check up on our place up there. By the way, have you ever ate at 18 Seaboard? If not, check it out, they have great food.... Man, the more pics you post the more I'm really liking your ride!
Awesome! I'm going to look into wrapping my own pulls now. An idea came to me while looking at your engine bay, have you thought about wrapping the engine dust cover? Or is that a dumb idea? I don't know but if it can survive the heat I think it would look cool too.

I haven't visited 18 Seaboard, but man have I heard good things about it. Very nice food and atmosphere is what everyone says. I am in Cary, so about 20 minutes away from Durham, let me know when you are up this way again. Thanks for the compliment warped!
Cheers!
Put the crystal ball down and take a step back ..please!
We did some research on this and can't find a definite answer. My wife and I have discussed this over and over and outside of a forum post on a camaro forum where a guy was asking, I'm not so sure the vinyl can withstand the heat under the hood, especially during the summer. I so want to do this, but unless 3M can ensure it is safe to do, I will wait.
Cheers!
Thanks for all the updated pics, I think I really need to change your title to "significant" reveal, the insignificant thing isn't flying 
Calipers look superb, as do all the other closeups of your work. Nice to have such a good resource for some future projects I have in mind
As far as vinyl in the engine bay, I wrapped my Mt Fuji logo on the engine cover about a year ago and it's still as good as day one, but that's a pretty small sample. Vinyl's is pretty tough, if you think about it a black hood or roof wrap in vinyl will get very hot just sitting in a parking lot, probably close to the air temps under the hood.

I may end up having a few firearms dipped instead..... I'm thinking flames and flaming skulls on my Glock. LOL
Thanks guys!
LOL G37Some, the car might just be more headache than what it's worth.

The car looks great!
I am interested in a couple things.
Thanks!
I am interested in a couple things.
- What is your fender to ground height with those H&R springs?
- What are the offsets/widths of your wheels?
- What is your F+R camber set at?
Thanks!
