Need Opinions: Full Matte Black Wrap-photo-50-.jpg


just a heads-up/FYI: removing the windshield washer jets on the hood is a pain in the A$$....i took an entire chunk out of my index finger while removing them. one cotton ball and a ton of electrical tape later i had a man sized bandaid (i should probably go get some stitches hmm...)

StickerCity in LA sells all the wraps you need. I was over there the other day and they were wrapping a bentley matte red. It was sick! I am thinking about changing my car from black to matte silver or gloss white.
