i recently took my car wrapping skills to the next level and started offering it as a service for fellow members and anyone looking to change their ride in a drastic but non-permanent way.

Full list of mods during the transformation:
  • Full Satin White vinyl wrap
  • Orion install w/ Ehssan black out method and custom wiring solution for fade on/fade off and DTRL
  • 5W Motorcepts Red AEs (backlighting the Orions)
  • RPI Scoops
  • Dinan High Flow Intake
  • Gloss black shadowline trim
  • Gloss black emblems
  • Gloss black mirror housing and base plates
  • M5 Spoiler wrapped satin white w/ gloss black cut trim
  • Gloss black interior trim
  • M5 Tech Body Kit via Umnitza
  • Gloss black kidney grills
  • Aluminum M5 I-Drive Knob

Looks great. Love how you wrapped the two support beams behind the grilles as well.

Simply amazing! Mad skills. Excellent work on the door handle. Did you wrap the interior trim or was that painted?
