I have had the roof and C-Pillars done since day 1 of ownership and the hood done in forged vinyl for about 6 months now. Finally got around to finishing everything off and it came out quite well I think.

Total rundown of work: gloss black roof, shark fin, and c-pillars, matte/gloss emblem overlays, yellow fogs, blacked out rear bumper markers, forged carbon hood, side view mirror caps, front splitter, rear fascia, side stripes, interior trim, and steering wheel. Damn... thats alot of plastic... IMG_1902.JPG IMG_1387.JPG IMG_2126.JPG IMG_2124.JPG IMG_2125.JPG IMG_2123.JPG IMG_2122.JPG

Looks amazing! How long would you expect the wrap material to last on the exterior? I’m not familiar with the material but very interested

Depends on how much you are in the sun, quality of vinyl, and surface prep but I’ve had some wraps last 5 years and others maybe 2. Different colors last different lengths too. The tech is for sure getting better. The newest 3M vinyls can last 5 years easy, especially if you ceramic coat them.

Thank you for the explanation. I greatly appreciate it.
