Nice John! From the picture, it looked like the wrap was somewhat decent, but it was probably time consuming. I think that wrapping is not that hard, just requires patience that many of us don't have, lol.

Looks great!

Where did you get your mirrors from? Are these OEMs?

Yeah wrapping is very time consuming.. one mistake can ruin the whole work... the mirror housing is easy... its the base thats a little harder plus after about a week there were bubbling.

Yes Sir! OEM with all the good stuff ( auto fold, auto dim, auto dip, chromatic mirrors w/ convex & special lines, puddle lights) got it from another member here. It totally changes the look of the car, even without the bodykit yet... which im planning on getting soon.
