im drawing inspiration from these two cars here....the matte antracite allows you to still easily see all the body lines....the gloss black accents i have planned will cleanly highlight the design elements of the M5 well. i cant wait to get it crackin this weekend!

i also have figured out where im going to go with my headlights i think as well...but only time will tell on that one....ive got some more tests to do
That color is sick!

there are many places that sell it online but i go thru a local shop for the most part here in metro detroit. for this wrap im actually using a new material made by 3M its a lesser thickness so im definitely learning all over again...plus with it being metallic...im learning that you have to be really careful with how you pull it...smh
