Looks really nice dude, love the black CF di-noc - I'm going to be wrapping my interior trim soon as well.
One question though, why did you reverse the pattern on the upper panel? Guess its personal taste but I would have it all going in the same direction.
The peeling you have circled will get worse over time, especially as the material is subjected to long periods of heat on sunny days. This is due to the di-nic trying to return back to its original shape as it is heated up. From the testing I have done, on any sharp bends, concave curves or stretched areas you must apply 3M primer. This creates a much stronger bond in these 'problem' areas and reduces the chances of this happening. You may want to consider having this applied now to prolong the life of the wrap.
