Yeah, I posted it a few months ago, but that only had before and after pics. This shows how he did it. Nice job.

this is what your talking about with the 335i.

they never removed any panels, they did it right on the car.
i read more into this, and they say it should be good for about 3 yrs before it can start to peel off.

the only thing is though, is its not as glossy as paint!

Looks good I wonder how good it looks up close anything can look decent from far enuff away and in a dark parkade.

For those asking about how it looks up close normally wraps are done vertical pannels and there is shitty seams all over and overlaps, but this crx guy did it completely different style, prbably because he didn't need to line up pictures and or lettering so this job would look perfect upclose unless he had paint imprefections. Or bubbled the material

notice that is why i said some...lol..not many


Earls red Rx7 is a nice one... and i think the username Duffm7n ? or something like that red skyline i beleive it is... and there is a couple purple corrolas


boils down to looks good from about 3 feet and further away and in pictures but soon as you get close its all a big patch job as most found it easier to apply it in 1X1 OR 2X2 sections....
