last update before i fully complete the car tonight. at first i was just wrapping the exterior but now i am taking the time to maticulously wrap the interior trim of the doors and Pillars....that way when the doors are ajar....the matte finish is seamless.

also, as the project goes on....i am getting really good at this....makes me wish i could have started on a friends car first to learn then wrap mine so i wouldnt have had to redo so many pieces before getting it right lol!

next up: side skirts, front bumper....then time for the M5 mirrors and all the hi-gloss trim....final pics will come via a full shoot this wknd. thanks for looking folks

Nice! The wrap looks good! How many hours and $$ would you say you've put into this wrap project, if you dont mind me asking? This kind of reminds me of this thread...the guy that Plasti-dipped his Audi S4. twice! http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...tte-white-pd-2

Looking forward to your finished pics!

almost done.....waiting on my OEM M5 mirrors in gloss black to arrive before i do a proper photo shoot. also need to re-do the rear bumper and the door handles (once i figure out how to get the damn things off)....but she's getting there. here's one last teaser pic.....

(can you seen the sheen in the matte finish? i love how its not a dull matte but more satin...looks damn close to the OEM frozen black in my opinion).
