$2,500 USD, I would do that in a heartbeat, I'm sick of black also. It's ~$6,000 around here and I don't really trust anyone here to do it. Your wrap looks great and you have a 5yr warranty on it, can't beat that.

The door jams are also wrapped. The only place where black shows is under the hood and engine cover.

That looks cool. I would make more bad decisions on my car if my wife didn't patrol me more carefully!

Respectfully, gold wheels look ghetto. Think wrx/sti or lancer evo crowd. I would absolutely plastidip the wheels black (preferred) or anthracite. I did mine black with "glossifier" and it was remarkably easy and durable.

Who did your wrap? So the front "license plate" fits perfectly on the front stub for the license plate bracket? Been thinking of getting one but wasn't sure of the size.

wow, looks really cool. Maybe I should do it also. Is it easy to unwrap and restore the car to original colour?

Yes i had them remove my matt wrap from the hood and it came off very easily without any damage to the original colour. These wraps come off very easily.

Limelite, yes the new mini plates fit the stubs perfectly.

I am thinking about anthracite, but a lot of people like the gold as well. In real life the contrast is not as much as in the pictures.
